Names for those funny icon-based menus

No comments:
Just in case you were curious, those funny-shaped menus, consisting of lines and dots, that are used in apps (both mobile and desktop) these days have actual names.
  • If the menu is three horizontal lines, it is called a hamburger menu.
  • If the menu is three dots in a horizontal row, it is called a meatballs menu.
  • If the menu is three dots in a vertical column, it is called a kebab menu.
And now you will know what to call these menus when talking about them with your friends.
