Description
Steps to reproduce the problem
- Log in on the iOS app.
- Click on the magnifying glass search button at the bottom.
- Click on the "For You" button at the top.
- Click on a profile that's suggested to you.
- Click on the "Follow" button.
- Go back to the search bar, and see that the follow button on the profile that was suggested is still here, even though you have just followed this profile.
Expected behaviour
I expect that, after step 5, when going back to the search bar, a "Following" button appears on the profile, instead of a "Follow" button.
Actual behaviour
After step 5, when I go back on the "For You" page, the profile I have just followed has a "Follow" button, even though I already follow the account.
Detailed description
This is happening on the iOS app.
- When I open the app, click on the "Search" magnifying glass button at the bottom, and then on the "For You" button at the top, I am proposed some Mastodon accounts to follow.
- If I click on one of these accounts, click the "Follow" button on their profile, and come back to the "For You" page, I would expect the proposed profile to have a button that says "Following", as I now follow this account.
- Instead, the button is still the "Follow" button.
However, this "Follow" button works like the "Following" button : if I click on it, I get a pop-up that asks me if I want to unfollow the account. Moreover, if I click "Cancel" on this pop-up, indicating that I do not want to unfollow the account, the button switches from "Follow" to "Following", as if it finally gets that I follow this account.
Note that the same issue occurs if I choose to unfollow the account from its profile and then come back to the "For You" page : the button still says "Following", but works like a "Follow" button, because if I click on it nothing happens, and if I click on it a second time I get the unfollowing pop-up.
It might just be that the display is not refreshed when coming back from a profile to the "For You" page, but I feel it can be confusing to the user.
