Unsubscribe from an email

If you get frequent promotional emails and newsletters in Gmail, you can unsubscribe from them. After you unsubscribe, it may take a few days for you to stop receiving emails from the mailing list.

Unsubscribe from a promotional email or newsletter

An animation that shows how to unsubscribe from a sender in the Gmail app for Android. In the animation, a user opens the Gmail app, opens an email, and then selects the "Unsusbcribe" link at the top of the email.

Important: To unsubscribe, some senders may require you to go to their website. Instead of an unsubscribe option, you get a "Go to website" option in the email.

  2. Open an email you want to unsubscribe from.
  3. Next to the sender's name, tap Unsubscribe.
  4. In the pop-up, tap Unsubscribe or Go to website.
