A lot of what I do on my phone is intuitive. I swipe line by line getting the info as Seigart detailed and sometimes double tap on something to find out what it will activate. Then using your roter for instance when you're in your list of friends you can go from a to B to C to D. those are all things you can explore just by swiping right and then right again. Sense you're using the newer version of Facebook there are some tabs which I don't believe have been mentioned one is called watch where videos go and the last one is navigation which will take you to your profile page, Settings and so on. I probably have gone through every single setting on my phone category and sub category to see where everything is. I don't mind it it's kind of a fun game and I don't find it tedious. So welcome to Facebook. Good luck with it. By the way you're only going to see the more button as the first thing listed under each and every post. Just double tap on that and you'll see what options you have. Deidre
