Gmail’s new ‘Manage subscriptions’ tool will help declutter your inbox
Google announced yesterday that it is launching a new feature for Gmail that aims to assist users in efficiently managing their email subscriptions and clearing out cluttered inboxes. The new “Manage subscriptions” tool is set to roll out on the web, Android, and iOS devices in select countries.
This innovative tool allows users to view and manage all of their subscription emails in one convenient location. By doing so, it becomes incredibly easy to unsubscribe from unwanted promotional emails, newsletters, and other subscription-based content that can quickly clog up an inbox.
The feature will display a list of active subscriptions, organized by the sender’s frequency, alongside the number of emails received from them over the past few weeks. Clicking on a specific sender provides instant access to all related emails. If users decide they no longer wish to receive these emails, Gmail will promptly send an unsubscribe request on their behalf.
According to Chris Doan, Gmail’s Director of Product, it can be surprisingly easy for email inboxes to become overwhelmed with unwanted subscription content. “It can be easy to feel overwhelmed by the sheer volume of subscription emails clogging your inbox: Daily deal alerts that are essentially spam, weekly newsletters from blogs you no longer read, promotional emails from retailers you haven’t shopped in years can quickly pile up,” he wrote in a blog post.
To access the new feature, users will need to click the navigation bar in the top-left corner of their Gmail inbox and select “Manage subscriptions.” This tool joins other recent Gmail features aimed at decluttering inboxes, such as the one-click unsubscribe tool that debuted last year. The latter allows for swift unsubscription from unwanted emails without needing to navigate through websites or search through lengthy email messages.
Google claims that the Manage subscriptions feature will be available to all Google Workspace customers, Workspace Individual Subscribers, and users with personal Google accounts.
