These updates, is there a link to download, or are these just for information?

I am unable to unzip software that I download. My iPad is a 15.2.1 rather new. After downloading, I open the file and I get a blank page with the file name and version transposed. My iPad is not a mini. No choice for my iPad.

iPad mini 6 Wi-Fi

If you are not already using this method, try using the method below from Apple Support's article:


How to open ZIP files on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

Says:

"How to open a ZIP file on your iPad

    1. Open the Files app, then find the ZIP file or archive you want to uncompress.
    2. Tap the ZIP file or archive.
    3. A folder is created containing the files. To change its name, touch and hold on the folder, then tap Rename".
