How Do I Unsubscribe From Email And Apps?

People receive all types of emails in their inbox throughout the day, those that interest them and that come from senders who intend to offer them information on labor issues or purchases they have made and those that belong to companies, many of the social networks, whose content is mainly advertising. The advertising emails usually belong to fashion or leisure companies, or social networks, which have included the user in a distribution list to send them emails about their service.

These leisure companies or social networks send mails even on many occasions, the user does not even remember when they have agreed to receive such information. For example, if they come from a concert hall, or ‘discover the news of the week’, in the case of streaming music applications such as Spotify, are some examples of this type of ‘ emails’. To end these mass emails, there are several methods that users can use to unsubscribe from their corresponding subscriptions through different websites and options within their applications.

Deleting Notifications

For those users who do not want to unsubscribe to a complete distribution list but only to certain information sent by the services, they can do so through the settings of each application. Thus, in Spotify, if they go to their profile, to Notifications, the user will be able to select what type of information they want to receive by email and whatnot. 

The same happens in social networks such as Twitter, where the user can go to ‘Settings and Privacy’ within the options menu of their profile, to ‘Notifications’ -> ‘Email notifications’. There you can select what content you want to receive through that service. The same mechanism can be followed on Facebook, under ‘Notifications’ -> Email’. And also on Instagram, accessing ‘Notifications’ within ‘Settings’ in the profile, and the ‘Email and SMS’ section.

The user has various mechanisms to eliminate the subscriptions that he has active from the distribution lists. Companies use them to send advertising information or with newsletters, and therefore it is important to know all these tools to proceed with the elimination of the unwanted service, to eliminate junk emails that reach the inbox, or, at least, to know that you have the option of being able to select what information you want to receive.

Mass Disposal Tools

If users want to delete their subscriptions in a more comfortable way and by doing a complete deletion of their data so as not to leave a trace of their presence on the corresponding platform, they can do so through tools created specifically for this, such as Unsubscriber, Delete me, Unlistr or until recently Unroll. me. In the case of Eliminate, it is a tool that can be accessed through the page on cybersecurity Network Law, which allows users to delete subscriptions on Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, Yahoo, MySpace, Google, Spotify, Twitter, Skype, Linkedin, Badoo, Reddit, Slack, Telegram, Yammer, and Flickr.

Users have to click on the link of the corresponding service available on the page, which will redirect him to the official page of the application form which he wishes to unsubscribe. They will have to log in with their account and follow the steps that appear on the screen.

Another tool is Unsubscriber, which follows a similar mechanism to the previous one. The user must log in to his email account through the web, where a folder ‘Unsubscribe’ will be created There, you will have to drag and enter all those unwanted emails, in such a way that the tool will automatically block the ’emails’ that enter the sender in the inbox. Next, the tool will notify the sender of the corresponding email that the user wishes to unsubscribe and be removed from the distribution list. Until this happens, emails from that sender will be stored in the ‘Unsubscribe’ folder.

Unlistr is another tool, which can be used in Outlook, iOS, and Android to automatically delete all those unwanted emails by the user. The user will have to install the application, select the email senders from whom they do not want to receive content and Unlistr will automatically delete all those emails that come from that sender and will “self-unsubscribe”, as indicated on their website. There is another tool known as Unroll.me. This tool also allowed to eliminate subscriptions to mass emails such as Unsubscriber or Eliminate.

Email

Email is the most common option to avoid receiving promotional from a specific sender is to go to the lower part of the body of the email. An option usually appears here that warns the user that they can unsubscribe from the distribution list. To do this, you only have to click on the option ‘unsubscribe’, ‘unsubscribe from this list, or ‘unsubscribe’. The web will generally lead to a window in which the user will have to select from several options why they want to unsubscribe and then be removed from the distribution list. In this way, you will no longer receive any email from that sender, unless you sign up again.

The other option to unsubscribe from the distribution list from the email is to use the link that Google has incorporated for this. In a computer version, the user will have to open an email from the sender from whom they want to cancel the receipt of messages. Next to the sender’s name, the option ‘Cancel subscription’ or ‘Change preferences’ appears. In the mobile version of Gmail, this option appears in the three dots in the upper right, which display a series of options, including ‘Cancel subscription’. 

However, Google, in its Gmail Help page, warns that this option may appear – neither on the web nor on mobile-. Then, it urges to block the sender or mark the message as ‘spam’. To unsubscribe from a subscription list in iOS Mail and Outlook the mechanism to follow is the same, although in these cases the option to unsubscribe on the desktop appears above the sender of the mail instead of next to it.
