iOS Toggle Switch

The iPhone settings switch: a pill track that fills with your accent and a white knob that glides across. Hold it down and the knob stretches toward the far side, just like iOS.

Also known as: ios toggle button css, iphone toggle switch css, apple settings switch.

Customizing this snippet

  • Color: set --tgl-color on the element or a parent. Currently previewing #3b82f6.
  • Size: set --tgl-size. Every other dimension is in em, so the whole thing scales together. Currently previewing 24px.
  • Speed: change the duration on the transition or animation shorthand. Staggered delays are relative, so they keep their rhythm.
  • Reduced motion: the rule at the end of the CSS turns the motion off for people who asked their OS for less of it. Keep it.
