GitHub for the web shows my actual following amount. What I've triedI've tried; Still have this issue. Not a critical issue, but it would be nice if I could see my actual following count. |

This issue is usually caused by Android app caching / delayed synchronization. Since the GitHub website shows the correct following count, your data is correct on GitHub’s side—the mobile app is just not loading it properly (or not refreshing it).
Best fixes to try (in order)
Force a full refresh in the app
Open GitHub app → go to your Profile
Fully close the app (remove it from Recent Apps)
Re-open it and check the Following count again
Clear cache (not only reinstall)
Reinstall doesn’t always remove old cached data. Do:
Android Settings → Apps → GitHub
Storage → Clear cache
If still not fixed: Clear data (you’ll likely have to sign in again)
Make sure you’re logged into the same account
