I klicked on the link, if I ask siri he says something went wrong, please try again,

that may mean there is no flashlight!

I do not sea a lightbulb anywhere like on my iphone.

Thank you for making me aware of this, because I was looking and looking but here is no flashlight on the 6th generation MR7F2NF/A

Thank you again for your time and help.

What iPad model is it exactly? click here ➜ Identify your iPad model - Apple Support

Does it have an actual flash module on the back?

A software update like iOS 16.3.1 will not magically produce a physical lightbulb to appear and be used as a flash.

You need a model with a physical lightbulb to be used as a flashlight.

Only those models of iPad that are fitted with a TrueTone flash (iPad mini6 and iPads Pro) have a flashlight function - or Flashlight control in the Control Centre. These models are:

iPad mini (6th generation) - Apple Support

iPad Pro 11-inch (3rd generation) - Apple Support

iPad Pro 12.9-inch (5th generation) - Apple Support

Well, does your model have a flash for the camera? Only ipad models that have a camera flash are capable of having a flashlight

That model does not have a flashlight. No actual True Tone flash "lightbulb" to use a flashlight.
