15. CHOOSE THE
SIMPLEST INPUT
METHOD FOR
EACH TASK
When participants needed to make a choice with limited
options, it was easier for them to tap a large toggle
icon than to enter text or select from a dropdown.
For selecting one of many options, a traditional
dropdown was most straightforward. Choose the
simplest input method for a task, and always be sure
the tap targets are large and easily identifiable.
Key Takeaway
Consider if a toggle or dropdown menu
is the optimal choice for each entry on
your mobile forms, and always make sure
they’re easy for users to tap.
