  You mean a hardware toggle? Because those can be double checked with some electronic knowledge.

    And a software toggle can be checked with some software knowledge if the source is available.

      Although chances of code being available are quite low for most mobile devices, not to mention software takes many many hours longer and you’ll have to make sure your build matches the code (which means manually checking the code of every update).

        Question for you: Do you manually check every hardware toggle for correctness?
