Rtk query invalidate tags not invalidating data

Question

So i have this twitter clone where when i follow a user the posts displayed on the index page should refresh and then show the posts from the user i followed and the follow people list should also refresh removing that user. So i have added invalidate tag for the followUser function invalidating both the posts and users data but it is not working. Only when i refresh do i get the updated data. How do i get it so that without refreshing my posts list and user list are refetched and displays new data.

apiSlice followUser

 followUser:builder.mutation({
    async queryFn({id,currUserId}):Promise<any>{
      try{
        let currUserDocRef = doc(db,`users/${currUserId}`);
        updateDataFirebase(currUserDocRef,'following',id)

        return {data:'ok'} 
      }

      catch(err){
        return {error:err}
      }

    },invalidatesTags:['Posts','Users']
  })

getPosts

getPosts: builder.query<Posts[],void>({
      async queryFn(currUserId):Promise<any>{
        try{
          let followingsArr=await getFollowingArrFirebase(currUserId);
         //console.log(followingsArr)
          let tweetsArr: { }[]=[];
          const q=query(collection(db,'tweets'), where("creatorId", "in" , followingsArr))   
          tweetsArr=await getDataFirebase(q)
          return { data:tweetsArr }
        }

        catch(err:any){
          return{error:err} 
        }

    },providesTags: ['Posts']}),

solved it. i was not using await before a function call which returned a promise
