What is swipe right?

Swiping right is a term that originated from the popular dating app, Tinder. When users are presented with a potential match on the app, they have two options: swipe right to indicate that they are interested, or swipe left to indicate that they are not.

If two users both swipe right on each other's profiles, it creates a match and allows them to start a conversation. The term has since expanded beyond dating apps and is often used in a broader sense to indicate approval or agreement with something, such as swiping right on a social media post to indicate that you like it.
