Hello,
WordPress by default shows all content of the posts.
However, recently WordPress has announced the feature to allow display of summary only but that feature is supported by few themes only. You can refer below links for more info.
Introducing Content Options: An Easy New Way to Make Visual Changes to Your Site
There is one alternate option available to achieve the desired results. You can create separate pages for categories and then display the list of posts using shortcode ‘Display Posts Shortcode’.
Refer below link for more info
Or, lastly you can change the theme to achieve desired listing.
E.g. theme “Escutcheon” displays post title and excerpts only instead of full contentHope this helps.

In addition to pratikakkawar’s good suggestions, adding the More tag where you want the post to split is a technique that works in any theme that displays the full post on the blog page by default.

Looks like that’s what you’re currently using, but I wanted to mention it here in case it helps anyone coming across this post in the future.
