Updating an iPad:

Do so by using a compatible device, and reliable connection.


I. Start Here: If your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch won’t Update - Apple Support


II. Verify Compatibility:

  1. Go to: Settings
  2. Tap: General
  3. Tap: About
  4. View: the model shown

Then, see if the device is shown here:

Go here: iPad Models Compatible with iPadOS 15.5 - Apple Support


III. If compatible...

You have not told us which model Mini nor what iOS verion it is currently running. It appears to be the original iPad Mini which can only be updated to iOS 12.x.x. It lacks the components to run newer software and therefore is probably incompatible with today's Amazon software. You will need a newer iPad to run newer software.
