@Everythingship For example, let's imagine the following situation: A friend and I are going out to dinner together but we haven't decided which restaurant to go to. I mention a new restaurant I haven't been to, and she says, "I don't think they'll have anything you like." I may think that she's unfairly implying that I am too picky about restaurants or that I am overly critical, in which case I might say "What's that supposed to mean?"
Again, this is an informal question that is best used between people who know each other well. If someone says it to you, it's likely that you've at least mildly offended that person.

both of them hold the same meaning however, What is that supposed to mean? is frequently used when you are annoyed or offended by something that someone has just said.
however, what does that mean is frequently used if you're plainly asking a simple question out of curiousity about a certain something.

Could you give me an example for what is that supposed to mean by any chance?
