Follower/Following delays [Twitter]
We’re working to reduce the amount of time it takes for new follower/followings to take effect. Right now, after you follow or unfollow someone it may take some time for that action to be properly recorded and propagated throughout the system. As a result, you may run into discrepancies such as:
- follower and following counts are off
- new followings not showing up in your timeline
- seeing that you can follow someone you’ve already followed
We’re planning several upgrades to address these issues and will post more as we make progress.
Update (3:03p): Other inconsistencies in addition to the above also exist:
- device notification changes for followers (choosing whose updates you get on your phone)
- favoriting and unfavoriting of individual tweets
