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.

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.

Is Toggle off left or right?

You can see if a toggle switch is on or off by checking the position and color of the toggle. In western culture, we read from left to right. That also applies to the toggle switch. If it is switched to the right, the switch is on.
