I thought exactly the same example about Twitter. I think it is always good to convey the action. When I see a "Following" button I somewhat feel that I spend a split of second to understand that it is a button and it may be used to unfollow someone. On Twitter if you hover over it you have no doubt about it. However, this is not true for the app which makes me think what we can do to convey the action and state at the same time on mobile apps.
