Safari update for apple ipads

The built-in, default, AppleiOS/iPadOS Safari Web browser is an integral part of the OS and ONLY gets upgraded/updated with iOS/iPadOS upgrades/updates.

So, if your iOS/iPadOS device is up to date, you already have the most up to date version of the Safari Web browser.

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 15.1 being the most recent version), 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.
