what is the “BV CAM” icon do that came up on my ipone’s home screen?

Me again! I’m pretty new to all this “technology” stuff so please excuse my asking of what probably seems like silly questions to most of the world. A “BV CAM” icon appeared on my phone’s home screen after the update—what is it & what does it do? Thank you!

BVCam is a third party app. It was not installed by the update. You either downloaded it from the App Store, or you accidentally restored your phone from a backup that had it installed. Either way, you can just delete it.
