📬 Gmail Just Made Unsubscribing from Newsletters Easier Than Ever

Tired of newsletters cluttering your inbox? Gmail has rolled out a new feature that simplifies the process of unsubscribing from unwanted emails. Now, when you open a promotional email, you’ll see an ‘Unsubscribe’ button prominently displayed next to the sender’s name, allowing you to opt out with a single click. This enhancement is available on both desktop and mobile versions of Gmail, making inbox management more convenient across devices. 

Additionally, Gmail has introduced a ‘Manage Subscriptions’ menu, where you can view a list of your current email subscriptions and unsubscribe from multiple newsletters efficiently. 

These updates aim to help users maintain a cleaner, more organized inbox by reducing unwanted email clutter.
