Your Gmail account is filled with hundreds of emails from mailing lists that you don’t use? Google is introducing a new feature that will make it easier to unsubscribe and deal with this problem. Interestingly, it will initially be available to iOS users.
How does the new feature work?
From now on, users of the Gmail app on iOS can unsubscribe by clicking a simple and easily accessible button located to the right of the message sender, just below the subject line. This is a big change compared to the previous hidden “Unsubscribe” button, which was only accessible through the menu. Recipients can also find an unsubscribe link at the bottom of the message content. The web version of Gmail has had this button for some time now.
However, there are still challenges
Unfortunately, some emails sent by online stores or service providers still make it difficult to unsubscribe. In some cases, it will be necessary to log in to your account with the sender and deactivate the subscription in the settings. Nevertheless, the new feature provided by Google will certainly make it easier for users to control their subscriptions.
