Is there a way to get it back the older iOS wallpaper

Presumably you refer to the "stock" wallpapers that can be loaded from iPad settings. These wallpapers are an integral element of the installed version of iPadOS - and may change when you update your iPad to a more recent version of the OS. Each revision of iPadOS may introduce new, or remove older, wallpapers from the available selection.


When older wallpapers are removed, they are no longer available from Apple. That said, some third-party websites may have low-resolution "captured" screenshot-images that you can download and use - just like any other image can be used as Home pr Lock Screen wallpaper. You'll need to search for these yourself using a web search engine of your preference.
