What makes a great toggle button?

A good toggle button is clearly defined, with either text or icon labels clearly denoting the action that will take place if selected. The chosen state must be clear to signify to the user what state is selected.

When should toggles be used?

Toggle switches are best used for changing the state of system functionalities and preferences. Toggles may replace two radio buttons or a single checkbox to allow users to choose between two opposing states. Sometimes deciding which user interface element to use — radio buttons, checkboxes, or toggles — can be tough.

How do you label toggle switches?

The toggle labels should describe what the control will do when the switch is ON. Write short and direct labels. Limit the total number of words. Label should have one or two words, preferably nouns, that describe the functionality of the toggle controls.

In what situations might you use a toggle button vs a switch control vs a checkbox?

Use a toggle switch for binary settings when changes become effective immediately after the user changes them. Use a checkbox when the user has to perform extra steps for changes to be effective. For example, if the user must click a "submit" or "next" button to apply changes, use a check box.
