If you have an old iPad or any kind of older iOS device that you want to use for video or basic functions, you may find that some apps cannot be downloaded. For instance, when you try to download the YouTube app, it says unable to purchase. However, there is a trick to get apps to work on your older iPad.
If you have another iOS device signed under the same Apple ID, you can download the YouTube app on that device and it will show up in your purchases. Then, go to your older iPad and search for the app in your purchases. You will see the iCloud icon and if you click it, it will ask if you want to download the last compatible version. Click yes and you can use the app on your older device.
This simple trick allows you to use apps like Netflix, Prime, and YouTube on your older iOS device. You can now make use of an iPad that has been sitting in a drawer for years. Don’t waste time watching a 12-minute video on how to do this. It’s a quick and easy process that will make your old device useful again.
