App keeps prompting me to update my operating system (re: IMDb Movies & TV app)

IMDb Movies & TV Appin Google Play Store states my tablet device is not compatible; hence, unable to update the IMDb app. My tablet is a Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 (Android 10). HOW can I stop the popup window (ie: the update operating system window) from appearing?

@joyofmvid Please see https://help.imdb.com/article/imdb/mobile-web-apps/imdb-app-general-troubleshooting/GPV9HCYQGA8XT8QZ — if you cannot upgrade the IMDb Android app to version 9.1.3 (or higher) then the app will no longer function later this year. This is why we are messaging you now. Fortunately the IMDb site at http://www.imdb.com/ is now fully responsive, which means all pages work on any size of device, and will therefore work on your tablet just fine. The site actually has more functionality and content than the app these days in any case. You can even create a link to the site on your tablet’s home (or other) screen which will provide a shortcut to the IMDb site just as if it was an app. Hope this helps.
