Cannot get iMac to update safari

My iMac is updated to Catalina 10.15.7, but my Safari is only 15.6.1. For some reason it did not update my safari to the current version of 17.1. How can I get my safari to update. Certain website will not let me enter unless I have the current safari on my Mac.

How to update Safari on my iMac? Our iMac (21.5 inch, late 2012) runs MacOS Catalina Version 10.15.7 with no software updates available at this time. We'd like to run the latest version of Safari browser (v. 16?) but cannot find a way to update Safari. Suggestions, please. Safari version currently using is 15.6.1 we need version 16, but upgrade/installation to version 16 does not seem to work or is unavailable. Is our 11-year old iMac too outdated? There should be plenty of memory left under the 8 GB, 1600 MHz DDR3 storage. [Edited by Moderator]

Safari is updated with macOS. If you can't ugrade from Catalina you can't get 17.1.

You might want to download another browser – like Firefox. The current version of that runs on Catalina and is still getting updates from Mozilla.
