A new trend has found its way on the "For You Pages" of many as people try to get the butter, fly and butterfly emojis in a row.
Using a new filter on TikTok—that can be found in the trending filters when creating a new video—users have been either getting lucky or stressing out trying to get the emojis one after another.
To work the trend, one can start their video by pressing on their screen for one of the three emojis to pop up on the screen. The main goal is to get butter, then the fly, thus creating the compound word "butterfly."

iOS 15 is the fifteenth major release of the iOS mobile operating system developed by Apple for its iPhone and iPod Touch lines of products. It was announced at the company's Worldwide Developers Conference on June 7, 2021, as the successor to iOS 14, and released to the public on September 20, 2021.[4]
On June 6, 2022, at WWDC 2022, its successor, iOS 16, was announced. iOS 15 was officially succeeded by iOS 16 on September 12, 2022.
iOS 15 is the final version of iOS that supports the iPod Touch, as its successor, iOS 16, drops support for the seventh-generation iPod Touch.[5]
History[edit]
The first developer beta of iOS 15 was released on June 7, 2021, and the first public beta was released on June 30, 2021, six days after the release of the second developer beta.[6][7][8] iOS 15 was officially released on September 20, 2021.
System features[edit]
The Focus allows users to set their "state", such as work, sleep, do not disturb or a custom focus. Based on the selected state, users can set the type of notification they want to receive and from which application. It is also possible to choose which pages and then apps to show on the Home based on the state. The state can change automatically based on where the user is or a time.[12]
Focus also controls the interactions with Contacts, so it is possible to decide which specific contacts can "disturb" the user.[13]
Some Lock Screen settings can be controlled based on the state: for example, the Dim Lock Screen feature, which darkens the lock screen from not showing notifications on that screen, can be automatically turned on or off based on the state.[14]
Focus is synchronized automatically across different iOS and macOS devices on the same iCloud account, as well as any paired watchOS devices.[15]
Notifications receive a new look with contact photos for all communication apps and larger app icons. When the notification arrives, the user can mute the corresponding app for one hour or all day.[16]
The Summary allows the user to group and postpone the notifications coming from the chosen apps, delivering them at a scheduled time in a single big notification called summary notification.[17]
Live Text[edit]
Devices with an A12 chip or later support Live Text, which uses optical character recognition to recognize text in images, allowing copy-and-paste, look-up, and translation in Photos, Screenshot, Quick Look, Safari, and Live Preview with Camera. This feature uses artificial intelligence text recognition using the Neural Engine.[18]
The Widgets in iOS 15 are more dynamic: depending on the context, the system can add or remove widgets to existing stacks. For example, near the start of a certain event in the Calendar, the system can decide to add the Calendar Widget to an existing smart stack, if it is not already present, and then remove it at the end of the event.[19]
Cross-App Drag and Drop[edit]
Pictures and text can be dragged from one app and dropped in another. This feature was previously only available in iPadOS.[20]
The various Home screens can be reordered, deleted, hidden, or limited using Focus mode.[21]
Per-App Text Size[edit]
From the Control Center, the text size can be set per app.[20]
Spotlight[edit]
The global search function has been enhanced and it is also available on the lock screen by pulling the page down.[22]
Dictation[edit]
Formerly limited to 60 seconds, the Voice-To-Text dictation available in the keyboard is unlimited.[23]
System-wide translation[edit]
System-wide translation allows the user to translate text in all apps by selecting it and tapping on the Translate option.[24]
Adjust video playback speed[edit]
The system default player, used for videos and by many apps, supports changing playback speed.[25]
Video Effects and Mic Mode[edit]
The Control Center supports Video Effects, adding Portrait effect to the camera, and Mic Mode to implement microphone Voice Isolation.[26]
Accessibility improvements[edit]
- Per-App Accessibility: each app can have a different accessibility setting to customize the text (Bold Text, Larger Text, Button Shapes, On/Off Labels, Reduce Transparency), increase contrast, reduce motion, autoplay video-preview, etc.[27]
- Image Exploration with VoiceOver: it describes photos to give users with low vision more context about what's displayed on the photo.[28]
- Audible charts: the Audio Graphs accessibility framework allows to represent chart data with audio for blind and low-vision people.[29][28]
Backups to iCloud can now also be made on 5G cellular networks.[23]
RealityKit 2[edit]
The new version for augmented reality (AR) uses new APIs to capture objects faster, and supports custom shaders, dynamic assets, custom systems and character control.[30][31][32][33]
Accounts for School and Work[edit]
User accounts managed by an organization, such as work or school accounts, can be added without requiring external apps or profiles.[34]
StoreKit 2[edit]
StoreKit 2 allows apps to implement the "Request a Refund" option in-app. The users can tap this option, select a specific in-app purchase and identify the problem that led to the refund request.[35] It also allows developers to monitor the purchases made by their users without using third-party solutions.[36][better source needed]

Improved panoramic shooting mode on iPhone 12 and above: less geometric distortion in panoramic shots with elongated fields of view, noise and banding reduction that are formed in the image due to changes in brightness and contrast when moving the camera from side to side, a less blurry and clearer image even when capturing moving subjects within the panorama.[51]
Safari was completely redesigned, moving the tab bar and address bar to the bottom of the screen, but there is an option to keep the legacy layout. It now has tab groups, allowing users to organize tabs and share entire groups of tabs. The user can now use a pull to refresh gesture to refresh a webpage.[52] Browser extensions are available for the first time in Safari for iOS; they are the same extensions available in Safari for the Mac.[53] Safari will automatically upgrade HTTP URLs to HTTPS if compatible.

Siri can now work offline on device with an A12 Bionic chip or later, responding faster to common requests supported locally without need for Internet connection.[56][57]
Apple News has been completely redesigned, featuring more rounded corners.[58][failed verification]
Siri responds to requests such as "Hey Siri, share this with [name]" or "send this to [name]" to share screen content using Messages. Items such as images, web pages, Apple Music or Podcasts, Apple News stories, and Maps locations will share the actual content (or a link to it). For content Siri cannot share, Siri will send a screenshot, notifying the user.
Announce Notifications: with announce notifications update in iOS 15, Siri can read all incoming notifications aloud and allow users to speak a response to them. This can be enabled for specific apps.
Health data can now be shared.[59][better source needed][60][62]
A new monitored parameter called "Walking Steadiness" has been added, which determines the risk of falling using gyroscopic sensors that measure balance, stability, and coordination.[59][better source needed][60]
Added the Trend analysis i.e. horizontal lines that show the trend of the various parameters over the long term.[59][better source needed]

Security and privacy[edit]
App Privacy Report[edit]

Siri Improved Privacy[edit]
On devices with an Apple A12 chip or later, Siri now converts audio into words on the device itself instead of sending it to Apple servers.[68]
Hide IP address for trackers in Safari[edit]
Safari's anti-tracking now prevents known trackers from reading the user real IP address.[69]
Hide IP address for external content in Mail[edit]
In the Mail app, the user can enable the setting to hide their IP address when downloading external content that may be present in a mail message. In this way it is possible to privately download this external content without being tracked by spammers or commercial companies that have inserted them without the user's knowledge.
Hide My Email[edit]
Hide My Email creates random email addresses that forward to the inbox so e-mail can be sent and received anonymously.
iCloud Private Relay[edit]
Private Relay masks the user's IP address in Safari, preserving the region without revealing the actual location. It also protects the DNS query resolution and insecure HTTP traffic in all apps.
The built-in authenticator allows iOS devices to be used to generate verification codes for additional sign-in security of accounts. There is no need to download a separate app because it is integrated into the OS. The verification codes are automatically filled when a user signs in to the site.
WPA3 Hotspot[edit]
Hotspot connections now can also use the WPA3 security protocol.[70]
Tethering to/from older iOS devices is not possible as WPA2 compatibility is not fully supported.
Apple Support have said that if enough people put in a feature request they might fix this issue.[citation needed]
CSAM detection[edit]
CSAM detection identifies known Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) in photos stored iCloud Photos was originally intended to be included. Implementation of CSAM detection has been delayed indefinitely.[71] This recognition is based on a perceptual hash called NeuralHash.[72]
Siri and Search are also being updated to intervene when users perform searches for queries related to CSAM. The Messages app will warn children when receiving or sending sexually explicit photos, blurring sent and received photos.[73] It was originally planned to also notify parents of children under 13 if they choose to view flagged messages anyway, but this was removed due to concerns about abusive parents.[74]
iOS 15 introduced kalloc_type in order to advance memory safety in the XNU kernel. This is primarily to mitigate privilege escalation vulnerabilities.[75]
