My iPad does not indicate an upgrade is needed or available. Instead it says it is up to date with 12.5.4. I'd like to update for the latest protection with iOS14.8. I do have my iPad set to update automatically. How can I update to 14.8?

You cannot upgrade beyond 12.5.4 as your device is too ole to run newer software. The security exploit the twas patched is not present in iOS 12.
