https://unsung.aresluna.org/seeing-like-a-state/ by @aresluna.org has lovely examples highlighting usability issues with toggle controls.

Is the toggle on when the circle is on the left or right? How about when the background is dark? …in a dark mode theme?

I might suggest text that says On/Off 🫣

Could be easily solved by adding a symbol.
