There's a big change coming to Gmail, and it's going to help end the nightmare of an overflowing inbox. Google has just confirmed that it's bringing a new "Manage subscriptions" function to its popular software, which does exactly what it says on the tin.
Via this new area in the Gmail settings, users will be able to quickly see all active subscriptions along with how many messages have been sent out by companies during the past few weeks.
If a firm is pestering too much - or the messages simply are relevant anymore - there will be a one-touch option to unsubscribe rather than spending ages trying to work out how to do it manually.
Once tapped, Gmail will do all the hard work and send an unsubscribe request to the sender.

"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,” Google explained.
“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."
Sound enticing? To find this view, click the navigation bar in the top-left corner of your inbox and select “Manage subscriptions.”
Google says that the ability to manage subscriptions in Gmail is rolling out now on web, Android and iOS to select countries.
Alongside giving users even more control over the messages they want to receive Google is also boasting that it now blocks more than 99.9% of spam, phishing and malware.
The tech giant has also recently rolled out new AI-based defenses which cut scam emails by 35%.
