Anyway, there is no checkbox component as of now on Thunkable X.

See this code

Add a label in the screen and add this code in your blocks and you will have a checkbox that changes between selected and unselected every time you click on it.

Thanks for this tip @muneer! I know this is over a year old, but I was looking to change up my settings screen to save some space since there is no way to change the size of switches. This example is EXACTLY what I was looking for!

Here is the before:

 ![9A10F252-CFAA-4554-A2B3-9163652B0602_1_201_a](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/5/f/5fffe1606b0724df3ca25514cc6f0dc234a64983.jpeg)

And here is the after:

 ![39F4DB62-5DC2-4E6C-98B2-A142338DC610_1_201_a](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/8/8/889476f560c7377b70fc0ca632555b47fbcd062a.jpeg)

I would not have thought about this trick if it wasn’t for the search! Thanks again! 🙌

When you convert to DnD in the near future 😉 you can use this component for simple cases like this! 🙂
