  • It signifies that downgrades are allowed.
  • It restricts upgrades to only the specified version.
  • It allows upgrades to the specified version and any future backward-compatible versions.
The tilde (~) symbol allows upgrades to the specified version and any future backward-compatible versions while keeping you within the same major version. It's more restrictive than the caret (^).
