If the software updates are not showing in my iPads settings,how then can. Updates it.?

Hi pontiano,

Welcome to the Apple (user-to-user) Community.

Wondering which iPad model you want to update, and which iPad OS version is installed on it now.

Eg: Earlier iPad models may not be compatible with the newest iPadOS versions.

iOS 16 and iPadOS 16 are compatible with these devices - Apple Support

iOS 15 and iPadOS 15 are compatible with these devices - Apple Support

All devices that have iOS 13 or iPadOS are compatible with iOS 14.

iOS 14 and iPadOS are compatible with these devices - Apple Support

If the update doesn't appear on your device,

you might want to use your computer to update your device manually.
