On the Douyin platform, both following and unfollowing actions are recorded. Specifically, when you follow a user, the Douyin system will record your following behavior and add the user to your watchlist. Similarly, when you unfollow a user, TikTok will record your unfollow behavior and remove the user from your watchlist.
These operation records can be viewed on Douyin's watchlist. In your watchlist, you can see all the people you follow, as well as their latest updates. If you've unfollowed a user before, the user's watchlist will be marked as "Followed" to distinguish them from the people you're currently following.
In addition, if you unfollow a user immediately after following it, the action will also be recorded. Even if you follow the user again later, the TikTok system will still keep a record of your previous unfollowing.
In short, the Douyin platform will record the following and unfollowing actions of each user, and these records can be checked. So, if you have any questions or need help, you can always contact Douyin customer service or technical support team.
