Instagram not updating people I follow total

Hello All,

Nice to join the forum.

I am currently unfollowing some accounts on Instagram. 
 

However, when I return to my profile page, it still says that I’m following the same number prior to my unfollowing, 

Any ideas how this number will change?  I’ve turned my iPad on and off/refreshed but it hasn’t changed the original number.

Any feedback warmly appreciated.
