A few months ago, Google rolled out a new feature for Gmail on Android that made it easier to clean out your inbox by showing a single list of all your subscriptions and providing a simple way to unsubscribe from these lists.

That feature is expanding, as "Manage Subscriptions" is now showing up on Gmail for desktop.

Google hasn't made an official announcement, but users have started noticing the new button over the past few days.

The tool works just like it does on Android. When you open it, you'll see the name and email address of every list you're subscribed to, along with how many messages that sender has sent recently. A button to the right lets you unsubscribe from that list without leaving the screen you're on.

This isn't necessarily a new functionality, as the very same button appears at the top of every promotional email you get. What's new is the fact that all of your senders appear on one page, meaning you can unsubscribe from dozens of lists in just a few minutes.

Google notes that when you unsubscribe, it takes a few days for the change to fully take effect, so a few more emails may come through. 

How to manage subscriptions on Gmail

I didn't have the feature on my personal Gmail, but some colleagues did. To find the page, look in the left pane where your categories are listed. It's showing up in different places for different people, but somewhere near spam and trash, you'll see "Manage subscriptions." You might have to click the "More" dropdown to see it. 

When I checked on my Pixel phone to see the feature in action, I quickly saw how useful it could be. In less than a minute, I had unsubscribed from 20 lists that I no longer wanted (or never wanted in the first place). Thanks to Gmail's automatic category sorting, most of these messages didn't hit my main inbox, but some did.

Google is rolling out the feature slowly, so not everyone has it yet. If you don't see it now, you should soon.
