Are you tired of newsletters and advertisements cluttering your inbox? With its new Manage Your Subscriptions feature, Gmail will allow you to get rid of unwanted messages in the blink of an eye.
Despite the best efforts of Internet service providers and email services, you too probably receive dozens of unwanted emails every day, to the point of sometimes being overwhelmed. The fault is partly due to the numerous newsletters to which you subscribed without paying attention. In addition to being particularly irritating, they can be used to send scams and even malware. However, Google is doing its best to tackle spam for Gmail! According to the American giant, its existing technologies already make it possible to delete 99.9% of spam before it even reaches your mailbox. Also, last December, the Mountain View firm announced that it was developing a new device based on artificial intelligence, which would make life difficult for spam emails (see our article). But what to do when spam manages to land in your mailbox?
Last October, the company announced that it was putting in place new procedures to combat spam in Gmail (see our article). Broadcasters were required to provide one-click unsubscribe and process unsubscribe requests within two days, while commercial email senders were required to improve the authentication of their emails to prove that they were genuine. sent by the organization they claim to represent. But luckily, Google is about to unveil a long-awaited feature to help clean things up.
Manage your Gmail subscriptions: unsubscribe in no time
Google had already implemented several measures to combat spam. Last January, for example, Gmail integrated a new button called “Unsubscribe”. By clicking on it, the service automatically carried out the procedure for deleting personal information from the mailing list of one or more sites (see our article). This time, the Mountain View firm goes further. As revealed by AssembleDebug on Once activated, it displays a “Subscriptions” page listing all subscriptions, as its name indicates.
The tool will identify senders who exceed a certain quota of emails and will classify them using filters based on the number of emails received: less than 10 per quarter, between 10 and 20, or more than 20 . Each sender’s logo and an unsubscribe button will also be displayed. No need to go looking for it at the bottom of your emails! And this makes it possible to identify at a glance the brands and companies that are the most polluting in terms of messages. At the moment, the subscription manager is not official, because you have to dig into the Android application code to take advantage of it. Some users indicated on Reddit have received a message informing them of the availability of this function, but only a blank page is displayed when they try to take advantage of it. We should know more soon.
