Not to fact-check a fun blog post or anything, but, no, visionOS doesn't have circular checkboxes.

Like iOS, it doesn't include a checkbox control at all in UIKit, just a toggle switch.

Like iOS, back to the stone age, there's a standard circular checkmark for multi-selecting items in a table view or grid.

And, also like iOS, there's a square checkbox in WebKit.

Safari on visionOS with some checkboxes

garyj_co,

@stroughtonsmith don’t forget the opposite pattern for the same multi select options apple uses in their alarm app. Non circled check marks are used allot for single selection in rows but not exclusively.

Took me minute to realise that it is the behavioural interaction that defines whether or not it is a multi v single selection (aka radio v checkbox) not how it looks — this is fine. 🔥

robertbrodrecht,

@stroughtonsmith indeterminate toggle controls 🤔

words_number,

@stroughtonsmith Thanks, I think you are right. That circular checkmark for selections in table views or grids is also very common in android and probably has been for a long time.

@stroughtonsmith one thing that always struck me as quirky with iOS was lack of radio buttons and switches replacing checkboxes. I thought those controls were pretty well thought out

@stroughtonsmith I don’t know what they have against checkboxes! I think they’re perfectly natural on a touchscreen.
