Alternative to checkboxes
A better component for option selection is toggle tokens. Toggle tokens conserve screen space, so you have room for more content, and users don’t have to scroll.
This creates a compact arrangement that looks less intimidating to users.
Toggle tokens don’t require a checkbox or checkmark with the label. As a result, there are fewer elements on the screen competing for the user’s attention.
The small tap targets of checkboxes can also cause tapping issues.
But if your options have long text labels that wrap to multiple lines, you should use checkboxes. Checkbox labels aren’t horizontally constrained and allow enough space for more text.
