Are you a locked device or updating from an older version?

Most legacy apps in the App Store require at least iOS 9.0.

If an app says it "Requires iOS 10 or later," try downloading it on a newer iPhone first. Then, go to the Purchased tab on your iPad 2; it may offer to download a "Last Compatible Version."

While slower than iOS 6, it is necessary for modern web browsing security. Installation Guide via iTunes or Finder
