hamburger icon
Three stacked lines
A hamburger icon is the three horizontal lines (☰) used in digital interfaces to indicate a hidden menu.
The icon resembles a hamburger viewed from the side—bun, patty, bun.
Tapping or clicking it reveals navigation options.
Also called a hamburger menu or hamburger button.
I couldn't find settings until I noticed the hamburger icon in the corner.
