I tried to download this app called fahlo for my bracelet that I got as a gift. Fahlo is an app that lets you track your animal that comes with your bracelet but the app only allows you to have the app if you have 16.4 which apple won’t update us too.
No. The Air2 is capable of update to iPadOS 15.8.x; the Air2 fundamentally does not support iPadOS16 or later.
Whilst many App titles remain compatible with your iPad, if you want or need to access to Apps that require a more recent version of iPadOS than your iPad is capable, you’ll need to consider replacement of your iPad with a much newer or current model iPad that supports iPadOS 16/17/18.
For information, here is a list of the highest version of iOS supported by the older models of iPad (for simplicity - “generations” are shortened to a number) that are restricted in their ability to be updated:
32-bit devices (obsolete)
iPad1 - iOS 5.1.1
iPad2, iPad3 and iPad mini1 - iOS 9.3.5 (WiFi Only models), iOS 9.3.6 (WiFi+Cellular)
iPad4 - iOS 10.3.3 (WiFi Only), iOS 10.3.4 (WiFi+Cellular)
64-bit devices
iPad Air1*, iPad mini2 and iPad mini3* - iOS 12.5.7
iPad Air2, iPad mini4 - iPadOS 15.8.3
iPad5, iPad Pro (9.7"/12.9" 1st generation)* - iPadOS 16.7.10
iPad6, iPad Pro (10.5"/12.9" 2nd generation) - iPadOS 17.7.2
(*) obsolete
Newer models are all able to be updated to the current version - iPadOS 18.1.1 (17.7.2 optional)
That iPad Air 2nd Gen (2014) hardware is too old and too limited for newer versions of iPadOS.
If you want that app made available on an older version of iPadOS, ask the app vendor.
Can you make IPad Air 2 have the IOS 16+?
