Remember this!
Button and toggle are both used to activate or deactivate functions or features. However, the difference lies in their design, action, functionality, visual feedback, and placement. Buttons are typically round or rectangular, pressed or clicked, perform a single action, and are often used individually. On the other hand, toggles are often in the form of a switch, moved or flipped, can switch between two states or options, may visually indicate their current state, and can be grouped together for related functions.
