Gmail’s Hidden Feature Helps Users Easily Clean Up Newsletter Clutter

ISLAMABAD: If you use Gmail, you’re certainly not alone — Google’s email service is the most popular in the world. But one common annoyance many users face is the overwhelming number of newsletters that crowd their inboxes.

These newsletters often appear after users enter their email addresses while visiting various websites, resulting in a continuous stream of promotional messages.

Fortunately, Gmail offers a built-in feature that helps users get rid of such unwanted emails and keep their inbox clean — although many people are still unaware of it.

This tool, called Manage Subscriptions, allows users to view all their email subscriptions in one place and unsubscribe with ease.

Before this feature was introduced, Gmail did offer an unsubscribe option, but users had to remove newsletters one by one, making the process time-consuming.

How to Use the Manage Subscriptions Feature

• On iPhone or Android:
  Open the Gmail app, tap the menu bar on the left side, then scroll down and select Manage Subscriptions.

• On a web browser:
  Open Gmail, click More on the left sidebar, and go to Manage Subscriptions.

Currently, this feature is fully available on Gmail’s web version, while its availability in the mobile app is limited to certain countries.

Once inside the Manage Subscriptions section, users will see a list of all newsletters they are subscribed to. By clicking on a subscription name, users can view all emails from that sender. An Unsubscribe option also appears next to each name.

When users click Unsubscribe, Gmail asks for confirmation. After confirmation, Gmail sends a notification to the sender requesting to remove the user from their mailing list.

Until the sender processes the request, all future emails from them will automatically be directed to the spam folder — keeping the user’s inbox clean.
