Tapping a toggle switch is a two-step action: selection and execution, whereas checkbox is just selection of an option and its execution usually requires another control.

Note: Difference between checkbox and toggle button

Use Toggle switch when,• An instant response of applied settings is required without an explicit action. • A setting requires an on/off or show/hide function to display the results. • User needs to perform instantaneous actions that do not need a review or confirmation.
