What is the iOS equivalent of the android three dot menu icon?

Solution 1

There is no clear equivalent, the closest I can think of are the horizontal three dots inside a UITabBarItem when there is no space to show the options:

tab bar - more icon

That being said, contextual menus are not common in iOS apps and there is no default UI item for them.

Solution 2

It's : ellipsis

and you can use it like this :

Image(systemName: "ellipsis")

Solution 3

There is the more system icon from Apple

    Android uses three dots (pictured) to show that there are more menu items available. What is the iOS equivalent of this icon?

    The functionality brings up a pop up once clicked where you can choose a menu item which will take you somewhere else. I think the chevron is to navigate to the next page in the journey

    Hmm. Sounds like the Apple share icon is the closest thing. Tapping on that brings up a menu of different options for printing, copying to the clipboard, saving to your photo library, sharing via email/text/facebook/etc (options vary based on context.) However I haven't seen that used in a list item like you show for Android.
