How do I install Spotify on an iPad mini with ios 9 ?

[Lorne1]

I also have an old iPod Touch with ios 6 so same question for that.

Hey @Lorne1, welcome to the Community.

Hope you're doing great!

Unfortunately that's not possible anymore as Spotify is now compatible only with iOS 10 and above.

You can also read this FAQ to learn more about the system requirements Spotify needs to run on a device 🙂

Hope it helps!

Seems absurd to me that anybody would write code that stops a large number of potential customers from using their product, but thanks for the response. My iPad is less than 2 years old !!!!

Hey @Lorne1,

Sorry for the inconvenience that I may have caused 🙂

Recently almost every developer have done the same move, by dropping the support for iOS 9, that can be noticed in their apps pages in the App Store.

If the iPad is new, you can upgrade to iOS 11.4.1 which is the latest official version until iOS 12 is released in about 2 weeks.

My 5s is 3 years old and it's going to get that update, in fact I have been testing it the whole summer and I'd recommend to update as soon as it's avaialble 🙂

Sorry and hope you understand my point 😃

Depends what you mean by 'new'. It is only 2yrs old but says ios 9.3.5 is the latest version I can install.

Hey @Lorne1,

Could you please tell me which iPad model is it?

I'll do a bit of research on that if you want 🙂
