There is a workaround to prompt the system to give you a compatible version of Procreate for your specific iPad.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Subsequently, can I use Procreate on old <strong>iPad<\/strong>? Procreate is no longer compatible with older iPads that run iOS 12.4. x or earlier. Sorry. Procreate is NOT the only sketching\/drawing\/painting app that is great on an iPad and some of the other sketching\/drawing\/painting apps may still be compatible with your iPad and iOS version.<\/p>\n<p>Considering this, what iPads are not <strong>compatible<\/strong> with Procreate? Good news: all iPads released after 2015 are compatible with the latest version of the Procreate app! The models that are NOT compatible with the latest version of <strong>Procreate<\/strong> include: iPad 1 to 4, iPad Mini 1 to 3, and iPad Air 1.<\/p>\n<p>People ask also, why does it say my iPad is not <strong>compatible<\/strong>? This is probably because the software on your iPad is too old to support the apps you download. Sometimes you can be lucky that the App Store offers an older version that matches the iOS version you are on. In that case, it will happen when trying to download.<\/p>\n<p>Also the question is, what iPads are <strong>compatible<\/strong> with Procreate? <\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>12.9-inch <strong>iPad<\/strong> Pro (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th generation)<\/li>\n<li>11-inch iPad Pro (1st, 2nd, and 3rd generation)<\/li>\n<li>10.5-inch iPad Pro.<\/li>\n<li>9.7-inch <strong>iPad<\/strong> Pro.<\/li>\n<li><strong>iPad<\/strong> (9th generation)<\/li>\n<li>iPad (8th generation)<\/li>\n<li><strong>iPad<\/strong> (7th generation)<\/li>\n<li>iPad (6th generation)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Can I still get <strong>Procreate<\/strong>? We do everything we can to make older versions of <strong>Procreate<\/strong> available for users running older <strong>iPad<\/strong> models, but this is limited by App Store behaviour.<\/p>\n<h2>How do I get an older version of Procreate?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Then go back to your older iPad, open the iOS App Store, go to the Purchases section of the store app, search for the app\/s you wish to try and download to that older iPad and see if an older version of the app is allowed to be downloaded\/installed to that older iPad.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>What app is most similar to Procreate?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>ArtRage.<\/li>\n<li>PaintTool SAI.<\/li>\n<li>Krita.<\/li>\n<li>Sketchbook.<\/li>\n<li>Clip Studio Paint.<\/li>\n<li>Painter.<\/li>\n<li>Adobe Fresco.<\/li>\n<li>MyPaint.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/p>\n<h2>How do I get Procreate on my iPad?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>In order to take advantage of your free download of Procreate, first make sure you have the Apple Store app on your device. Then, navigate to the \u201cStores\u201d tab in the bottom menu bar, scroll down until you see the \u201ciPhone Upgrade Program,\u201d then swipe over until you see the Procreate banner.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Can you use Procreate on iPad 8th generation?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p><iframe style=\"width:100%;height:420px;\" width=\"auto\" height=\"auto\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/33ZZOQbKPiQ\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>How do I make my old iPad compatible with apps?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p><iframe style=\"width:100%;height:420px;\" width=\"auto\" height=\"auto\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lMMrU732w6Q\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Is my iPad too old to update?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Your iPad is no longer listed in the compatible devices for the latest update. With each update, Apple releases a full list of devices that are able to download it. If you don&#8217;t see your model on the list and it&#8217;s more than 5-6 years old, it&#8217;s likely that your iPad is too old to handle a new update.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>How do I install incompatible apps?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Method 01: Use a VPN program to install country-restricted applications.<\/li>\n<li>Method 02: Download and Install the APK files directly.<\/li>\n<li>Method 03: Use a Play Store alternative to install incompatible apps.<\/li>\n<li>Method 04: Upgrade your Android Operating System.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Is it worth buying an iPad for Procreate?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re serious about learning digital art, it is worth it to buy an iPad for Procreate. While the iPad Pro is the best choice for Procreate, as long as your iPad is running iPadOS 13.2 or newer, you can save money by buying used or older iPads in order to use Procreate.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Do I need Apple Pencil for Procreate?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Is Procreate Worth it Without an Apple Pencil? Procreate is worth it, even without the Apple Pencil. No matter what brand you get, you need to make sure to get a high quality stylus that is compatible with Procreate in order to get the most out of the app.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Is Procreate only for iPad?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Answer: Procreate is an amazing app that is used for digital drawing and painting. However, it is only available for iPhone and iPad, and not Android devices.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>How do I update Procreate?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>If you already have Procreate, you just need to update your app to the most recent version. Go to the iPad App Store and click on your picture in the top right corner. Scroll through your list of apps until you find Procreate. If there is an update button, click it to download and install the latest version of the app.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Is Procreate one time purchase?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Procreate is $9.99 to download. There&#8217;s no subscription or renewal fee. You pay for the app once and that&#8217;s it. If you are already using an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, that&#8217;s a pretty enticing deal.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Is Procreate compatible with iPad 3?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>The current version of Procreate requires iOS 12, which cannot run on a 3rd Gen iPad. There may still be an older iOS 9.3. 5 compatible version that can work on the 3rd Gen iPad, but you will have to jump through some hoops to get it. Also the iPad 3 was discontinued in 2012 and is no longer being updated by Apple.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Can you draw on an iPad 2?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Most Definitely! The Adonit Mark, Mini 4 and Pro 4 stylii are all standard, capacitive stylii. You will need a drawing glove to use any capacitive stylus. There are NO smart, Bluetooth stylii that work with an iPad 2 because the iPad 2 Bluetooth spec is too old and outdated for the use of any smart Bluetooth stylii.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Are there free versions of Procreate?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>The basic version is free and gives you access to more or less all of the most important features on the app. If you choose to upgrade to Pro, it&#8217;ll cost you only $1.99. It&#8217;s for Apple phones and devices only.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Does Procreate work on iPad 9th generation?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>While it&#8217;s overall design could use a much-needed update, the 9th-generation of Apple&#8217;s iPad is a great budget choice for Procreate.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>How much does Procreate cost in Australia?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>The digital illustration app costs $10 (\u00a310, AU$15) to download (with no in-app purchases), and its massive suite of art tools and creative features make it well worth the money.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>How do I install apps not compatible on iPad?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Re-download compatible apps from the Purchased page.  <\/li>\n<li>Use an older version of iTunes to download the app.  <\/li>\n<li>Look for alternative compatible apps on the App Store.<\/li>\n<li>Contact the app developer for more support.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/p>\n<h2>How do I update my old iPad to iOS 14?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Go to Settings > General > Software Update.<\/li>\n<li>You may see two software update options available. You can choose to stay on iOS and iPadOS 14 and still get important security updates. To update to iOS and iPadOS 15, choose that option.<\/li>\n<li>Tap Install Now.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/p>\n<h2>What iPads no longer update?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>How Long Will Ipad Get Updates? In 2019, the 1st gen iPad Air, iPad Mini 2, and iPad Mini 3 will no longer be able to upgrade\/update to iOS updates.
