Google is rolling out a new feature for the web, Android and iOS that will make unsubscribing from email subscriptions easier than before — which was already pretty easy. If you don’t have the feature yet, you’ll soon see a new section in Gmail’s sidebar that will let you quickly manage all your subscriptions.

Previously, when you viewed an email newsletter, an “unsubscribe” option would appear at the top so you could quickly unsubscribe with a single tap or click, but that would (obviously) only work for the individual newsletter. The new feature centralizes all of your newsletter subscriptions so you can declutter unnecessary future emails with ease.

Below, we’ll show you where to find the new feature and how to quickly unsubscribe from unnecessary or out-of-control senders to tame your inbox. While you’re at it, here’s how to free up 15GB of Gmail space.

Before you can use the feature, you should check to see if you have it first. Here’s how.

If you have the feature, Manage Subscriptions should be below the Trash section

The feature is currently rolling out to the web, Android and iPhones in select countries, so you might need to wait a bit if you don’t have the new view just yet. 

How to manage subscriptions from the new view

Once you arrive at the Manage Subscriptions section, a list of the newsletters you’re currently subscribed to will be displayed, sorted by the most frequent senders and the number of emails they’ve sent in the past few weeks. Tapping directly on the sender name will bring up the most recent emails received, and you can easily unsubscribe by tapping the icon to the right of the name, which looks like an email with a minus sign “-” in front of it. 

Gmail will send an unsubscribe email to the newsletter you no longer want to receive.

Once you’ve tapped that unsubscribe icon, Gmail will ask if you want to stop receiving emails from the sender. Once you tap unsubscribe, an email will go to the sender notifying them of the unsubscribe request. It can take a few days for the sender to honor the request, but all emails sent by them going forward should be sent to your Spam folder going forward.
