Apple Intelligence/Genmoji was introduced on iPad OS 18 and supported on the iPad mini with the A17 Pro chip, which is not in your iPad. If you didn't have then, you are still not going to have it on iPadOS 26. It is the hardware of your iPad that is not powerful enough to support those features, not the OS version. You will need a newer device to take advantage of any Apple Intelligence features.
