Description of problem:
When a observation you have identified gets updated and appears on your home feed clicking the gear in the top right and selecting unsubscribe does the same thing as clicking the unfollow observation button in the observation.
One of them is using the wrong term.

Here it’s the same thing.

I could imagine, that this has another meaning in the observation itsself. You can choose:
a) to unfollow the observation and get no more notification
b) to follow the observer, to be notify about everything, he observes

In the notification, the second option is not necessary, so it’s “missing” in the gear menu.
