Newsletter fatigue is real. Sometimes you sign up for a newsletter to get 15% off your first order, and sometimes, you’re automatically subscribed when you create an online account. The problem is that if you’re not constantly staying on top of actually unsubscribing from the newsletters you don’t care about, your inbox can become a subscription wasteland. Luckily, if you’re a Gmail user, Google has a tool to help out with this. 

To tackle unnecessary subscriptions, Google released a bulk unsubscribe tool so you don’t have to manually track down old newsletters you don’t want to see anymore. 

Previous iterations of Gmail made it easy for you to remove yourself from rogue newsletters that you forgot you signed up for, but you could only unsubscribe yourself from one at a time. Now, all it takes is a couple of clicks. It’s baked right into the sidebar in Gmail and you can access it both from the mobile app and website. Below, we’ll show you where exactly to find it and how to use it.

Where to find the Manage Subscriptions feature in the Gmail app

Before you can use the feature, you should check to see if you have it first.

• Open the Gmail app on your iPhone or Android.
• Tap the menu bar at the top left (three stacked lines).

If you have the feature, Manage Subscriptions should be below the Trash section.

Where to find Manage Subscriptions in Gmail for the web

• Log in to Gmail from a web browser.
• On the left-hand panel, click More.
• Click on Manage Subscriptions.

The feature is available for web, Android and iPhones in select countries, so you may need to wait a bit if you don’t have the view yet.

How to manage subscriptions from the view

Once you arrive at the Manage Subscriptions section, a list of the newsletters you’re currently subscribed to will be displayed, sorted by the most frequent senders and the number of emails they’ve sent in the past few weeks.

Tapping directly on the sender name will bring up the most recent emails received, and you can easily unsubscribe by tapping the icon to the right of the name, which looks like an email with a minus sign “-” in front of it.

Once you’ve tapped that unsubscribe icon, Gmail will ask if you want to stop receiving emails from the sender. Once you tap unsubscribe, an email will go to the sender notifying them of the unsubscribe request.

It can take a few days for the sender to honor the request, but going forward, all emails sent by them should be sent to your Spam folder. If you want to get an even better grip on Gmail, don’t miss these 10 tips.
