Hello,

Apparently, this version is only compatible from iPad 5 onwards, but I was wondering if there might be a trick to install it on a 4 anyway?
We can always hope... :-)

Thanks in advance!

Thank you for your response, but I had already done that, which is why I'm asking if there might be a trick. ;-)

Hello,

There is no way to force the installation of a recent version of iOS on an iPad that is officially not compatible.

However, it is possible to install applications that are more compatible with your iPad by retrieving their older versions. You just need to follow these methods.

  Hello,
  
  I asked the question because I know that there are some clever people who often find ways to bypass this kind of limitation. :-)
  
  Actually, it was so I could install Numbers, and it apparently is only compatible from the iPad 5 onwards. In this case, the methods indicated in your link do not work.
  Too bad... and thank you anyway!

    Hello,
    
    Numbers 15.1 for iPad requires iPadOS 18 or later.
    
    Numbers is available on the App Store and requires an Apple ID to download.
    
    Features may vary, and some may require an internet connection.
    
    Additional fees and conditions may apply.
