The swipe in is a system back. It works on every app and between apps, and it works anywhere on the right side of the screen, instead of having to reach wherever your app back button is, if it’s not collapsed and has to be scrolled in to view as well.

Is this some kind of iOS thing? Android does not have a universal swipe action for backing out of apps, and you can also make the bottom control buttons never hide themselves.

  Do you have android 10+? Than you should find something like “gesture control” in your options. This replaces the buttons at the bottom (back, home, apps) with gestures
  
  swipe from the left or right edge towards center -> back
  
  swipe from the bottom edge towards center
  -> home
  
  swipe from the bottom edge towards center and hold -> show open apps
  
  swipe upwards anywhere besides the bottom edge -> app drawer
