Major Gmail update finally fixes inbox overload
Google has announced a major new update for Gmail that allows users to unsubscribe from emails with just one click. The latest feature aims to address inbox overload, with Gmail now automatically sorting emails delivered through active subscriptions. The Manage Subscriptions tool includes one-click links next to the emails that unsubscribe users from unwanted mailing lists. 'It can be easy to feel overwhelmed by the sheer volume of subscription emails clogging your inbox,' Chris Doan, Google's director of product management, wrote in a blog post. 'Daily deal alerts that are basically spam, weekly newsletters from blogs you no longer read, promotional emails from retailers you haven't shopped in years can quickly pile up. 'With Gmail's new 'Manage subscriptions' feature, you can view and manage your subscription emails, making it easy to unsubscribe from the ones you no longer want all from a single place.' The new feature is already available on the web version of Gmail, with Android and iOS versions receiving the update later this month. Google is also rolling out new 'AI-based defences' to block scam emails, which the company claims works 35 per cent of the time. There has been a sharp rise in scam emails in recent days, according to security researchers, with cyber criminals targeting online shoppers in the buildup to Amazon Prime Day. The retail giant sent a warning to customers this week about suspicious emails asking customers to update their payment information for membership renewal. 'We've recently noticed an increase in customers reporting fake emails about Amazon Prime membership subscriptions,' Amazon's warning stated. 'Do not click on any links in these messages – scammers use fake websites to steal your Amazon login credentials and banking information.' Research from cyber security firm NordVPN uncovered more than 120,000 fake Amazon websites set up to steal login and payment information.

Gmail just fixed one of the worst things about email. Here's how.
Sick and tired of all of the subscription emails spamming your inbox? Don't despair, help has arrived. Gmail is rolling out a new feature that corrals the seemingly unstoppable daily incursion of unread newsletters and unwanted marketing promotions in a separate tab. The "Manage subscriptions" tab shows a list of subscription emails sorted by those sent most frequently. Click on any of the senders to see all of the emails they have sent. Click unsubscribe and Gmail will send an unsubscribe request on your behalf. "It can be easy to feel overwhelmed by the sheer volume of subscription emails clogging your inbox: Daily deal alerts that are basically spam, weekly newsletters from blogs you no longer read, promotional emails from retailers you haven't shopped in years can quickly pile up," Chris Doan, director of Gmail, wrote in a blog post. "With Gmail's new 'Manage subscriptions' feature, you can view and manage your subscription emails, making it easy to unsubscribe from the ones you no longer want all from a single place." Putting subscriptions all in one place is a Marie Kondo-worthy time saver. No more hours-long decluttering sessions hunting for errant emails and unsubscribing one at a time. The Gmail feature is gradually rolling out, so you may not see it yet. To find it, click the navigation bar in the top left corner of your Gmail inbox then click 'More.' Select Manage subscriptions from the menu that pops up. Then you can review senders, see how frequently they email you and unsubscribe to any lists you no longer want to be on. Mobile users will have to hang on a little longer. The Android and iOS app versions are coming later this month.

Gmail's new ‘Manage subscriptions' tool will help declutter your inbox
Google announced on Tuesday that it's launching a new Gmail feature that is designed to help users easily manage their subscriptions and declutter their inboxes. The new 'Manage subscriptions' tool is rolling out on the web, Android, and iOS in select countries. With the new feature, users can view and manage their subscription emails in one place and quickly unsubscribe from the ones they no longer want to receive. Users can view their active subscriptions, organized by the most frequent senders, alongside the number of emails they've sent in the past few weeks. Clicking on a sender provides a direct view of all emails from them. If a user decides to unsubscribe, Gmail will send an unsubscribe request to the sender on their behalf. 'It can be easy to feel overwhelmed by the sheer volume of subscription emails clogging your inbox: Daily deal alerts that are basically spam, weekly newsletters from blogs you no longer read, promotional emails from retailers you haven't shopped in years can quickly pile up,' Chris Doan, Gmail's Director of Product, wrote in a blog post. Users can access the new feature by clicking the navigation bar in the top-left corner of their Gmail inbox and then selecting 'Manage subscriptions.' It's worth noting that the launch of the feature doesn't come as a surprise, as some users spotted the tool back in April. Manage subscriptions joins Gmail's other tools that are designed to declutter your inbox, such as the one-click unsubscribe tool that rolled out last year. The feature allows users to unsubscribe from emails using a simple 'unsubscribe' button, getting rid of the need to navigate through websites or the bottom of emails when looking to unsubscribe from promotional and newsletter content. Google says the new feature will begin rolling out on the web starting Tuesday, with Android and iOS users starting to receive it on July 14 and July 21, respectively. It may take up to 15 days from the start of the rollout for the feature to reach every user, the company says. The Manage subscriptions feature is available to all Google Workspace customers, Workspace Individual Subscribers, and users with personal Google accounts.
