It means someone you swiped away (as in rejected/wasn’t interested) later swiped you right (as in is interested). Dating apps nowadays have a paid feature where you can “rewind” and change which way you swiped someone.
In isolation, sure, being able to access your swipe history and change your mind, would be just fine. On a dating service that actually cared about helping people find each other it would be a no-brainer to provide such a feature in terms of the very basics of the system.
But the way it’s actually used is to get users to pay for FOMO fuelled micro-transactions to go back to match with profiles that may or may not even be real.
Except you have to pay for rewinds. They probably give you one or two freebies, but then you’re screwed if you legitimately made a mistake swiping in the wrong direction.

It’s a scam.
Seems like a fine feature to me?
These apps are toxic AF to begin with.
