Gmail stands out as one of the most widely used email services globally, but it doesn’t necessarily meet everyone’s needs. Critics, including many at Android Police, believe there is room for improvement by enhancing current features or incorporating new ones.
Fortunately, Google is actively working on these enhancements, with a notable new feature that many users may find appealing. The latest addition aims to declutter your inbox and eliminate unwanted emails.
For years, Google has provided tools to help users manage their subscriptions, but this new feature—called “Manage subscriptions”—is touted as the best yet due to its simplicity and accessibility. It can be activated with just a tap.
In the official blog post by Google, the “Manage subscriptions” feature is described as a centralized hub for managing all your subscription emails. Users can view a comprehensive list of their email subscriptions and see how many emails they’ve received from each source recently.
This feature makes it easier to keep track of what you’ve subscribed to. Located on the right side of the Manage subscriptions interface is a button that allows you to quickly unsubscribe from any unwanted sender, which can range from daily deal notifications to promotional offers from various retailers.
When you tap this button, Google will send an unsubscribe request to the specified sender, though it may take them a few days to cease sending emails. The introduction of this feature had been anticipated for some time, as some Gmail users reported seeing a version of the Manage subscriptions feature a year ago, albeit with technical issues.
Fortunately, Google has officially launched it now. According to Google’s demonstration, accessing this feature is straightforward: simply tap the navigation bar in the top left corner of the Gmail app and scroll down to the “Manage subscriptions” option, which is located right above Trash.
If you don’t see it immediately, you may need to wait a few days for it to appear.
