Gmail has been helping us keep our inboxes clean for a while now with a handy Unsubscribe button built right into promo emails, so there’s no need to open a bunch of sketchy websites just to opt out. Then back in April, Google took it up a notch by launching a dedicated subscriptions hub on mobile, making it super easy to see everything you’ve signed up for and ditch whatever you don’t want with a single tap. However, it was mobile-only. But now that’s changing—Google is bringing that same “Manage Subscriptions” feature to Gmail on the web.
On mobile, the Manage Subscriptions page sits right under the Trash folder in Gmail’s sidebar. But on the web, things are set up a bit differently. Both versions still give you a clean overview of all your email subscriptions and recent activity, but the access point shifts. As spotted by Mishaal Rahman over at Android Authority, Gmail’s web app now tucks the Manage subscriptions button into the left panel. You’ll find it under the “More” section, sandwiched between “Spam” and “Manage labels.” Click it, and you’ll jump straight into the new hub to take control of your inbox clutter.
This page lays out all your newsletter and mailing list subscriptions in one place. If you want to check what a sender’s been sending you, just click their name to see the full thread. And if you’re over it, hit the “Unsubscribe” button—it’s the same one you usually see up top in promo emails.
No more hunting down random newsletters
The real win with Gmail’s new Manage Subscriptions feature is that you no longer have to dig through your inbox for random newsletters. It pulls them all together for you in one clean list.
However, unsubscribing isn’t instant. It might take a few days for the sender to catch up, so you could still see a couple more emails in the meantime, as per Rahman. If you want them gone right away, you can block the sender instead.
Google is rolling out the Manage Subscriptions page on Gmail for the web in waves, so don’t panic if you don’t see it for the time being.
