When is IOS16 going to be available for iPad 9th gen (not Pro)? I desperately need the upgrade to the Files app which allows you to see file extensions. Hopefully duplicating and renaming files will also be available. Amazing how the simplest things seem to be (intentionally?) missing from Apple products. 😞
p.s.
the 9th gen isn’t even listed in the options below… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
iPad
iPad9 is capable of update to iPadOS 16.2.
If your iPad is capable of being updated to a more recent version of iOS/iPadOS than is currently installed, these support pages outline both the available methods by which the update can be performed - and troubleshooting should you experience difficulties:
Update your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch – Apple Support
If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch – Apple Support
If your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch won’t update - Apple Support
iOS update and restore errors – Apple Support
Be aware that while an iPad may be capable of update, it may be too far behind the current version to be updated directly from iPad settings. Similarly, performing the update using a computer will often be the most effective method to resolve update issues. In such circumstances you will need to use a computer to perform the update. You will need access to either a Windows PC (with iTunes for windows installed) or a Mac (with iTunes or Finder - as appropriate for the installed version of MacOS). Ensure that your installed version of iTunes has been updated to the most recent version; the essential device drivers are included.
Download and use iTunes for Windows – Apple Support
Update to the latest version of iTunes – Apple Support
Update software on iPhone, iPad or iPod touch in iTunes on PC - Apple Support
If you have a beta profile installed, ensure this has been removed from your iPad - as, otherwise, installation of production software updates may be inhibited. This support page provides the necessary information to remove the beta from your iPad:
How to uninstall iOS beta software - Apple Support
You should note that for your iPad to install an available update, its battery must be charged to at least 50% capacity - and/or be connected to its Power Adapter. Similarly, the iPad can only be updated over a standard WiFi connection - or be updated by a PC or Mac using iTunes or Finder - over a USB connection.

iPad OS 16 was released for all compatible devices at the same time (October).
What is the existing version of iPad OS on your device?
