What is the offical name of the third on-screen button?


I am searching for the official name of the third (right) android on-screen button.


The left and middle button are clear:




  • Left: Back button

  • Middle: Home button

  • Right: ???


Android 1 - 4.4 Android on-screen buttons Android 4.x and before Android 5.0 - ? Android on-screen buttons Android since 5.0


Please include a reference where the name of the third/right button is stated in your answer.



Answer



It's called Overview button. I originally came to know about this from the Screen Pinning settings' description.


Google on Get around on your device (see Get around with navigation buttons) has noted:



Overview: Opens a list of thumbnail images of apps and Chrome tabs you’ve worked with recently. To open an app, touch it. To remove a thumbnail from the list, swipe it left or right.




  • It looks like this

  • If your device is running Android 4.4 or lower, your Overview button looks like this
