Email spam was a huge problem a few years ago, but email providers like Gmail and Hotmail now don’t have a hard time dealing with these type of emails. However, another annoyance email users face is unwanted emails from websites they may have knowingly or unknowingly subscribed to. To crack down on such emails, Google is rolling out a new feature for Gmail users who are tired of seeing newsletters, promotional emails and other subscription emails in their inbox.
In a blog post, Google said Gmail users will see a new “Manage subscriptions” view, which can be accessed by tapping on the navigation bar from the top left corner and selecting “Manage subscriptions.” Here, you will see your most active subscription sorted by the most frequent senders, which means services that have sent you the most emails will be listed at the top.
When you click on any of the senders, Gmail will show you all the emails they have. If you want to unsubscribe from any of these senders, simply tap on the unsubscribe button that appears to the right of the sender’s name, and you are good to go.
The new feature is really handy if you are tired of pesky reminders from Facebook or don’t want to see those “You have an invitation” emails from LinkedIn. While Gmail already had a feature that lets users unsubscribe from newsletters and other subscriptions, the new Manage Subscriptions view is really handy as it lets you see and manage all your active subscriptions from a single window.
Google is rolling out the new feature on the web version of Gmail starting today, but the Android and iOS apps will be getting it starting July 14 and July 21, respectively. It will work with all personal Google accounts, Google Workspace customers and Workspace Individual users in select countries.
