Google is now expanding Gmail’s “Manage Subscriptions” to the web following the roll-out of an inbox management feature on mobile earlier this year. This now provides desktop users with the identical one-click ability to unsubscribe from newsletters and marketing emails that mobile users have had since April.
Until now, available only on the Gmail mobile app, the dedicated subscriptions hub enabled users to be able to quickly view, manage, and unsubscribe from email subscriptions without having to rummage through messy inboxes. Now, the same functionality is being extended to Gmail’s web interface.

Rather than putting it close to the Trash folder like it does on a mobile, the Manage Subscriptions button is hosted by Gmail’s web interface in the “More” category on the left-hand sidebar. From a report by Mishaal Rahman for Android Authority, you can find it between the “Spam” and “Manage Labels” buttons.
When clicked, it will open a streamlined dashboard that displays a full list of active promotional emails and newsletter subscriptions. Users will scroll through and immediately see who has been spilling their inbox.

How It Works and Why It’s So Useful
Gmail’s new hub puts all your subscriptions in one simple-to-browse list. When you click on any sender, Gmail displays a complete message thread of what you’ve received.
When you decide you’re finished with them, a quick tap of the familiar “Unsubscribe” button takes you off their list—no need to open untrustworthy third-party sites or search for tiny opt-out links.
This ability is a big plus for users frustrated with hunting down subscription emails individually. It streamlines the process, minimizes inbox clutter, and enables you to have a cleaner, more streamlined email experience.
Be Aware: Unsubscribing May Take Time
Although unsubscribing with Gmail is simple, it’s not always instantaneous, according to Android Police. Google indicates that it could take a few days for the sender to actually honor the request, so you may continue to receive mail from them a short time after unsubscribing. For quicker action, Gmail also allows you to block the sender completely.
Don’t Worry If You Don’t See It Yet
Google is rolling out the Manage Subscriptions page incrementally, so if you don’t yet see it in your Gmail web app, relax. The feature should be coming along soon as the update keeps rolling out to more and more users.
