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
If you have multiple GitHub accounts:

confirm the GitHub app profile you’re viewing is the exact same account where the website shows the correct number.
Check for update delay
Sometimes the mobile app can show follower/following numbers with a delay.

Wait a few hours (or a day) and re-check after any recent follow/unfollow actions.
Report it to GitHub (if nothing works)
If it continues, it’s likely a bug in the Android app.

Send a report to GitHub describing: “Android mobile app shows a lower Following count than GitHub Web for the same profile.”
