Designing effective toggle buttons

Reading Time – 6 min. A toggle switch is for one binary setting that takes effect the instant it is flipped — Wi-Fi on or off, notifications on or off. If the change needs a Save button, if the two states are named alternatives like List and Map, or if the user is picking several things from a list, a switch is the wrong control. Use a checkbox, a radio group or a segmented button instead.
