What it is
Multi-select interfaces may use a list, checkboxes, or a searchable popup with selected tokens. The chosen set must remain visible and easy to edit.
When to use it
Show selected values and let each item be removed without clearing the whole selection.
Know the difference
A single select stores one choice; multi-select stores a collection.
Across platforms
Web
Native input and select controls use browser-provided picker UI; the exact presentation differs across browsers and devices.
iOS · iPadOS
Pickers can appear inline, as wheels, or inside a compact presentation. Choose a style that fits the amount of space and the value being selected.
Android
Use the Android or Material selector appropriate to the value. Calendar and time selection commonly have dedicated dialog presentations.
