How to Download Netflix on iPad (iOS 9.3.5): The Last Compatible Version Subtitle: Yes, your vintage iPad can still stream—here is the trick. If you are holding onto an original iPad Mini, iPad 2, or iPad 3, you know the struggle. These devices are built like tanks, but they are frozen in time on iOS 9.3.5 .
Disclaimer: As of 2025, Netflix still supports the legacy streaming API for iOS 9. If this changes in the future, the app will stop loading data even if installed.
You want to install Netflix, but when you open the App Store, you see the dreaded message: “This app requires iOS 14.0 or later.”
