# 1. Follow/Unfollow the User

### 1. Follow/Unfollow the User

The profile page allows Users to view their own profile information, and the profile information of other Users in the application.  

#### The Follow/Unfollow Button on the Profile Page

When the Current User is viewing someone else's profile, the `Button Follow` and `Text Button Send Message (or Edit Profile)` elements are shown to the Current User:

When the `Button Follow` element is shown, and the Current User isn't yet following the person whose profile they are viewing, the `Button Follow` element's text will be "Follow":

When the `Button Follow` element is clicked, the Current User is now following the person whose profile they are viewing. As a result, the button's text conditionally changes from "Follow" to "\[checkmark] Following".

When the "\[checkmark] Following" text is hovered, its text will conditionally change to "Unfollow":

If the "Unfollow" text is clicked, the Current User will no longer be following the person whose profile they are viewing.
