Speed Dial
also known as Expanding FAB, FAB menu
A speed dial is a floating action button that, when tapped, expands to reveal a small set of related actions as mini buttons. It groups several closely related creation tasks under one prominent control. Tapping again or selecting an option collapses it.
Don't confuse it with
A plain FAB triggers a single action; a speed dial is a FAB that opens a fan of multiple related actions instead of doing one thing directly.
