iPad update
I have been trying to update my iPad. But it’s been on “requesting update” ever since. It’s not letting me update.

That is indeed a first generation iPad Pro. Which you clearly have not updated in years. That device was released in 2015. So seven years ago.
Since you haven't updated it in years, you'll need to use a computer with iTunes (Windows) or Finder (Mac) to update it at this point.

Have you made sure your particular model iPad is eligible for the update? You have not mentioned which iPad or which update you are trying to get. After making sure it is eligible, check these links...

If yours is an original iPad Pro, it probably cannot be updated beyond its current iOS. It lacks the components needed to run newer software. And you will be unable to use apps that require an update.
Please go to Settings > General > About > Model and report back what exact model you have.
I suspect you don't actually own an iPad Pro. Every iPad Pro model ever sold by Apple is capable of running the current iPadOS 15.5. The fact you have an iPad running iOS 12.1.1 would be a very old device, which is likely not able to be updated past iOS 12.5.5.
It’s an iPad Pro. And it’s telling me to update to a iOS 12.1.1. I can’t download certain apps as they are telling me to update the iPad first
The iPad I have is the one with the finger print access. Which I believe is only 2/3 years old
