How to install unsupported apps on iPad 5th gen?

Hi Good day!


I would like to ask, if there’s any possible way to install an application that is not supported by the new system? Like, I’m currently using Ipad 5th Gen and I want to install Ms. Teams but it doesn’t allowing me to do so cause it is not supported nby the new system. Is there any other way?


Thank you & God bless!

There is no supported way around this.


iPad 5th gen was sold from 2017 to 2018, and iPadOS support tops out at iPadOS 16.


Microsoft requires a newer iPadOS version; usually one of the three most recent iPadOS versions.


You’ll be looking for a newer or new iPad, or using something other than Teams, or maybe using the Teams web interface.
