The Meatball Menu, also known as the horizontal three-dot menu, is an icon used to open a menu with additional options. The icon is usually found in the upper-right or upper-right corner of a screen or window. Used to open a menu or display actions for a related item.
Google and some other developers have introduced us to what some have called the hamburger menu button and now the 3 vertical dots button or vertical ellipsis. What is the official name of these buttons/icons?
It would be nice if developers could consistently use a particular icon for menus. It would also be nice to know what to tell novice users to press.
Background Info:
Horizontal Ellipsis
Is ellipsis 3 or 4 dots?
Those three little dots are called an ellipsis (plural: ellipses). The term ellipsis comes from the Greek word meaning “omission,” and that's just what an ellipsis does—it shows that something has been left out. When you're quoting someone, you can use an ellipsis to show that you've omitted some of their words.
