A toggle is a hardware switch that allows you to change the function of an appliance or device. It is commonly used on computer keyboards to switch between applications, programs and other functions. It can also be a metaphor for switching between two different states of an activity, such as working and relaxing.
A web browser’s toggle button is a simple user-interface element that lets users update preferences, settings, and other types of information. They should be applied only when the change can be immediately acted upon without having to submit a form or click another control, and only when their on/off state can make a difference. In other cases, radio buttons or checkboxes are more appropriate.
Toggles should have clear, direct labels that describe what they will do when pressed. They should be positioned so that their action is obvious, and they should visually appear as sliders to reinforce their meaning. If you are using a toggle that requires an explicit choice between on and off, consider adding a label for the state that is not currently selected. This will help avoid confusion and frustration by clearly stating what the state will do.
In Ionic 7.0, we introduced new toggle syntax that reduces boilerplate and improves accessibility. We recommend developers migrate to this new syntax as soon as possible.

A term for sliding or dragging something across an object, such as a fabric, to fasten it. The movement can be either a pull or a push. The word is also an adjective, describing the action of switching something back and forth between two states. The most common usage is the latter, but the former can also be applied to software and other machines, where it describes switching between two programs or settings.
