You cannot update Safari individually. Safari is a part of iOS and will only update when you update iOS. My guess is you have tried to do something in Safari and it is telling you that you need a newer version of Safari? If you have iPadOS 14.7.1 on the device, that is the latest iPadOS available. What are you seeing that is making you believe you need to update Safari?

Safari is an integral element of iOS/iPadOS - and cannot be updated independently of the OS. If your iPad has been updated to the most recent version supported by your iPad (iPadOS 14.7.1), then Safari is as up-to-date as is possible.

However, some websites incorrectly identify your iOS/iPadOS Safari User Agent when used in one or other of its browsing modes - of which their are two - these being Desktop and Mobile.

It’s easy to switch between modes if a website isn’t functioning correctly. From the desired web-page, touch the aA icon at the left of the Address Bar; this will reveal a menu. From the menu select Website Settings, then select (or deselect) Request Desktop Website, then tap Done. Now refresh the webpage.

The chosen setting will be saved for the selected website - and can be simply reversed if needed.

Update the iOS version. If a website says to update Safari when it's already the latest version, contact the site's staff.
