Use an Ellipsis to Indicate That There's a Further Step
If the user needs to perform an additional action, show an ellipsis.

An ellipsis can give the user more confidence that there's a further step to confirm an action.
Users may well have unconsciously learned what these dots mean in a User Interface (UI), but you should validate this understanding while testing your product.

Use of metaphors

Choose metaphors that will enable users to instantly grasp the finest details of the conceptual model

Expand beyond the literal interpretation of real-world counterparts
If a metaphor is holding you back, abandon it

Make Buttons a Sensible Size and Group Them Together by Function

1. Make buttons big enough that they can be tapped or clicked easily.
2. When you design for small screens, remember the controls still need to be big enough.
3. Don't cause "misclicks" by placing buttons too close together.
