How do you label toggle switches?
The toggle labels should describe what the control will do when the switch is on; they should not be neutral or ambiguous. When in doubt, say the label aloud and append “on/off” to the end. If it doesn't make sense, then rewrite the label.
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.
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.
What is the difference between toggle and switch?
First, we need to make a distinction between a toggle button and a toggle switch since they both manage states, but not exactly in the same way: Toggle button: Represents an action that changes a state. Toggle switch: Represents two (or more) mutually exclusive states or options that can be switched.
