right swipe

Match app acceptance

Right swipe is the gesture of dragging a finger rightward across a touchscreen, particularly on dating apps like Tinder where it signals interest in a potential match.

The action has become shorthand for approval or attraction: She's a definite right swipe.

To right-swipe someone is to express romantic interest or, more broadly, to approve of something enthusiastically.
