With a more noticeable 'unsubscribe' button next to the sender's name, Gmail is allegedly making it simpler to delete mass emails. It's unclear at this time whether the new feature will find its way to the Gmail Android app, as it has only been observed on the iOS version of the program.
Reportedly, the new 'unsubscribe' button is placed purposefully right above the email text and beneath the subject line. Users may now readily locate the unsubscribe button without having to search through menus or scroll to the bottom of emails thanks to its prominent positioning.
How will it make Gmail user-friendly?
The updated approach is seen as a major improvement over the previous way, where users had to tap the three-dot menu at the top of the message window or look for an unsubscribe option at the bottom of the email.
The new layout better matches Gmail and the web version, where the unsubscribe button is placed below the subject line next to the sender and sender information. While this feature has been spotted in Gmail's iOS app, it remains unclear if it will roll out to the Android app in the future.
Google sometimes brought iOS features before Android, showing a trend seen in the past. Google's commitment to improving the Gmail experience is reflected in its ongoing efforts to combat spam and improve user inbox management.
In October 2023, the company introduced new requirements for bulk senders, according to which more than 5,000 messages are sent to Gmail addresses every day. One of the major additions included a one-click unsubscribe button that allows users to effectively delete commercial emails with minimal effort.
How to use the Unsubscribe button function to stop receiving emails:
- Access your inbox on Gmail.
- Look for emails that you wish to remove from the sender's list. The search bar located at the top of your email is functional.
- Move the mouse pointer over one of the sender's emails. A little menu will show up next to the sender's name.
- Select "Unsubscribe" from the available options. You could be redirected to a website where you must verify that you want to unsubscribe.
- Verify that you have unsubscribed. Either click "Unsubscribe" once again or adhere to the directions displayed on the screen.
