Netflix is not Compatible with this iPad (2023 Resolved)
For most ones we don't upgrade our iPad frequently. If you are the users with older devices - like the iPad 2 or the original iPad mini and want to install Netflix from App Store, you may find that you can't and it says "Unable to Purchase" or "Netflix is not compatible with this device."
The Error message typically indicates that your iPad is not compatible with the most recent version of the Netflix app. Netflix says that "Your iOS device must be running iOS 12.0 or above to download the Netflix app. Earlier iOS versions (5.0 and above) are only able to download Netflix if the app was downloaded in the past."
Go to Settings, then "Next, scroll down and select General" and select "About" to check your iPad's version number. If your iOS device is between 5.0 and 11.4.1 and you have downloaded the Netflix app in the past, then you need to see Apple's support site for instructions on downloading an earlier version of Netflix.
If you don't want to install the Netflix's early version, is there any methods to play and watch Netflix videos on our old iPads.
