On Tuesday, Google disclosed that it would implement a novel Gmail feature to facilitate the management of subscriptions and cleaning inboxes.
In certain countries, the new “Manage subscriptions” utility is being implemented on the web, Android, and iOS platforms.
With the new feature, users can conveniently access and manage their subscription emails in a single location and promptly unsubscribe from those they no longer wish to receive.
Users can view their active subscriptions, which are arranged by the most frequent senders, and the number of emails they have sent in the past few weeks.
Clicking on a sender will grant you access to all of their communications. If a user elects to unsubscribe, Gmail will send an unsubscribe request to the sender on their behalf.
In a blog post, Chris Doan, Gmail’s Director of Product, wrote that it is easy to feel overwhelmed by the sheer volume of subscription emails clog your inbox.
Daily deal alerts that are essentially spam, weekly newsletters from blogs you no longer read, and promotional emails from retailers you haven’t shopped with in years can quickly accumulate.
Users may access the new feature by selecting “Manage subscriptions” from the navigation menu in the upper-left corner of their Gmail inbox.
It is essential to mention that the feature’s release was anticipated, as some users had previously identified the utility in April.
The one-click unsubscribe tool introduced last year is one of the other tools that Gmail offers to help declutter your inbox. Manage subscriptions is an addition to this collection.
The functionality enables users to unsubscribe from emails by clicking a straightforward “unsubscribe” button, eliminating the need to traverse websites or the bottom of emails to unsubscribe from promotional and newsletter content.
Google announced that the new feature would be available on the web on Tuesday, with Android and iOS users receiving it on July 14 and July 21, respectively. The company has stated that the feature may not be accessible to all users until 15 days have passed from the commencement of the rollout.
All Google Workspace customers, Workspace Individual Subscribers, and users with personal Google accounts can access the Manage Subscriptions feature.
