HOW TO: Unsubscribe From Gmail Spam Subscriptions in 4 Easy Steps
Learn how Gmail’s new Manage Subscriptions tool lets you quickly clean up your inbox by showing all your mailing lists in one spot.
It’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the sheer volume of subscription emails cluttering your inbox, even when you try unsubscribing from some. Daily deal alerts that are basically spam, weekly newsletters from blogs you no longer read, promotional emails from stores you haven’t shopped at in years, they pile up fast, and the list goes on. Normally, you’d have to open each email, scroll down, and hit unsubscribe one by one. It’s boring, time-consuming, and honestly, who wants to go through that hassle? Now, Gmail’s new “Manage Subscriptions” tool, launched in early July, is rolling out on the web, Android, and iOS in select countries. With this feature, you can view all your subscription emails in one place and quickly unsubscribe from the ones you no longer want.
If you are wondering how you can do this on your Gmail, here’s a quick breakdown:

Conclusion
While the official rollout only just began, the feature isn’t exactly a surprise; some users already spotted it as far back as April. “Manage Subscriptions” now joins Gmail’s growing list of inbox decluttering tools, like the one-click unsubscribe option introduced last year. Together, they make it easier for you to take control of your inbox and cut out unnecessary emails.
