[br] [br][br]Every social media service faces the problem of bugs, but Twitter is dealing with something extremely weird right now.[br][br]A number of users of the microblogging site have reported that they are getting notifications for unfollowing.[br][br]Meaning, whenever a person unfollows a Twitter account, the owner of that accounts gets a notification.[br][br]Here's all about the issue[br][br][br]Twitter lets you unfollow without informing[br][br]In its normal configuration, Twitter lets you follow and unfollow without any restriction.[br][br]When you follow a user, they get a notification for the same, but when you unfollow, they are not notified about the action.[br][br]Plus, you can also configure Twitter to notify you about updates from the people you follow, like when they post a tweet, mention someone or retweet something.[br][br][br]However, this bug has messed things up[br][br]Over the last few days, multiple users have reported about an issue which appears to be mixing Twitter unfollows with follows.[br][br]Basically, whenever a person unfollows a user, the service notifies the user that they have been *followed*.[br][br]So, in essence, the user opens the notification about a follow but actually finds that they have been unfollowed, which is pretty annoying.[br][br]Twitter spokesperson confirmed the bug, says fix coming soon[br][br]After a number of complaints about the bug, first reported by Vice, a Twitter spokesperson confirmed the issue to the outlet.[br][br]The representative claimed that the company is working on a fix but denied providing any information about when the fix would be available.[br][br]To note, the issue first started appearing earlier this month.[br][br][br]Till then, it is recommended to keep notifications disabled[br][br]The bug has been spotted by a number of users, but it isn't applicable for everyone using the service; we weren't able to replicate the issue.[br][br]However, until Twitter issues a fix, it is recommended to disable notifications for Twitter's Android and iOS apps as a way to save yourself from unnecessary confusion.[br][br]When the fix is available, you can update the app.[br][br][br][br]#Infinix_India....
