What is Gmail's "Manage subscriptions" feature?
The first mention of this feature appeared in April 2024 on the website PiunikaWebrevealed that Gmail was working on a "Manage Subscriptions" module integrated directly into the interface, accessible via the sidebar.

In concrete terms, this feature allows you to :
- See at a glance the list of newsletters and email marketing to which you have subscribed,
- View the commercial pressure exercised by each shipper by displaying the number of newsletters sent per quarter.
- less than 10 e-mails per quarter
- between 10 and 20 e-mails per quarter
- more than 20 e-mails per quarter
- Unsubscribe in one click, via direct link integration List-Unsubscribe in the
👉That's the beauty of this new feature: a centralized dashboard to clean up your mailbox without having to open each email one by one. A real revolution on the user side.

Respect emailing best practices
As with every new Gmail feature (new spam filters, authentication indicators, deliverability rules...), this functionality is a must. strong reminder for marketers : not respecting your target = being ignored or blocked.
Here are a few simple rules to keep you on track and preserve your opening rates:
- Produce genuinely useful content for your subscribers. Avoid empty messages or full promotions. They get bored.
- Tailor your sales pressure to your profiles. The famous "2 messages per week per individual" to the whole base no longer works.
- Weed out the inactive after a few months.
- Segment and clean up your lists regularly.
- Collect explicit consent (opt-in), SAME for your customers. Even if the legal framework still allows emails to be sent to active customers without the need for opt-in, this is no longer enough to maintain a good reputation as a sender.
Conclusion: should you stress?
Gmail gives users more and more power. And that power includes the ability to delete senders from their mailboxes with a single click.
Will this feature be consulted a lot? Will we see a spike in unsubscribes? Not so sure. Every time there's a new feature, marketers get nervous, and then it quickly fades away.
Marketers who should be stressed are :
- Senders who use non-segmented mass emailing.
- Those who send far too often, with no perceived value.
- Subscriber bases filled with inactive or poorly qualified addresses.
- Those who still believe that "more emails = more business".
It's up to you to earn your place in their inbox 😉
