Why would you try drag it? Maybe I'm used to iOS I don't swipe those things I just touch them...

- falsedan 10y agoWhy wouldn't you? It looks like a slider toggle, not a checkbox.
- catshirt 10y agowhat is a "slider toggle"? sliders should be used for ranges of values. checkbox for toggling values. we could argue it's unfortunate that iOS(?) decided to start making their "checkboxes" look a little like sliders, but they still only toggle values thus you don't slide them. in any case, i get where you're coming from. using mousedown instead of click or up maybe kind of solves both use cases?
- extra88 10y ago"Checkboxes" that look like little sliders usually are good UI because they avoid this confusion, "is the control showing me the current state or the option to change to the desired state?" For whatever reason, toggle switches like this better convey that they're displaying the current state before you touch them.
- OJFord 10y agoPeople do though, I often watch (and cringe as) my parents do it.
- falsedan 10y agoThe slide is so big on this one that it looks like multiple targets. The iOS ones are small enough that the only useful interaction is to mash with fingertip. mousedown++ but also touch events
- TomMarius 10y agoI don't see a button, it has a background that suggests it'll slide when dragged.
- zltm 10y agoyup same here, i still love it tough

- croon 10y agoI still intuitively (try to) slide toggles on my iPad. Just because Apple did it wrong doesn't mean everyone should adapt.
- jimboj 10y agoWhich version of iOS? As far as I can tell you can tap or swipe/slide the switches.
- fuzzy2 10y ago> Why would you try drag it? Because it’s large and I want to see it wiggle? :D
