Gmail’s “ Manage Subscriptions” Simplifies Email Unsubscribing

Gmail is rolling out a thoughtful new feature which is dedicated “ Manage Subscriptions” page. It simplifies inbox cleanup and puts you in charge of what goes into your inbox. The Gmail app has a centralized page that shows all the active subscriptions of the email. It allows users to unsubscribe a single tap from the unwanted sender. 

The new button is the result of Gmail’s latest effort. This aims to make your inbox less cluttered, extending existing “Unsubscribe” button shown on individual emails. That aspect of the old feature meant that users had to open one message after another. This new page will pull together all of your subscription senders in one single glance. This is beacause it's much faster and easier to keep an inbox from being overrun.

Simple, One-Tap Unsubscribing

The new Gmail Manage Subscriptions page will show you a simple and easily scanned list of all the senders.

There is useful information like the account holder’s name and the number of e-mails the same account got recently. It helps users make decisions to store email or unring them.

Above each sender, there is a prominent Unsubscribe button for each mailing list that allows you first to opt out. Usually, unsubscribing is automatic inside the Gmail app itself and all you need to do is one tap.

How to Use the Feature

Open Gmail app on Android.

Search out the menu icon in the left corner of the top side.

Select Manage subscriptions.

Browse your list of subscriptions.

Tap Unsubscribe next to that sender’s name.

Key Details to Know

Easy to identify subscriptions from sender names and addresses.

View how many emails you’ve recently received sent to you from each source.

WIP: This feature is work in progress and may not be fully working in all cases for many more days.

Available only in the Gmail app for Android now, but nothing has been said for iOS or the web yet.

The unsubscribe ‘stops’ marketing emails, whereas the block ‘blocks’ all future emails from a sender into spam.

Final Thoughts

It is a thoughtful and user friendly addition to the Android app. It manages to streamline the occasionally tedious task of email cleanup. This works because it centralizes all the user’s email subscriptions in a single handy place. This is a continuation of Gmail’s long history of helping to keep users organized and in charge of their communications.

This intuitive tool will soon become more useful to your everyday Android users who don't want to drown in emails. With this feature, users can quickly and easily get rid of all this clutter from their inbox. The small change will have a big impact and aligns with making Gmail a productivity focused email service.
