The choice of using a toggle switch or a checkbox depends on the context.

Toggles, switches and checkboxes are all components used to switch between states, often on or off, but not always (in toggles you can also have multiple states)

UI and UX studies suggest how they would be best used to aid readability

A toggle switch is best used for actions or options that have an immediate effect on the user interface and do not have to be confirmed or reviewed. A checkbox is more suitable when there are further changes, are within a form or need to be revised before continuing.

When designing forms, it is important to focus on the context of use rather than the function of the controls...

I recommend watching this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wFWbdxicvK0 This research shows six different ways of using the mobile phone screen to control devices with only two states (on/off). There are buttons, sliders and rockers. The ways that require sliding are safer because they avoid problems caused by accidental touches. For this reason, the iPhone uses a slider to unlock the phone
