Speed dial
A FAB that expands into multiple action buttons when tapped.
A speed dial is a floating action button that, when tapped, fans out into 3-5 smaller action buttons. Each sub-button has its own icon and represents a related action.
Use a speed dial when one screen has multiple equally important create actions — New post, New photo, New event. Single-action screens are better off with a plain FAB.
