Google is currently testing a new feature for Gmail users aimed at bringing more organization to the inbox. It involves an additional button in the web client that allows certain content to be centrally managed.
The new feature appears in the left sidebar of the Gmail web interface and is called “Manage Subscriptions.” This gives users access to a separate overview of their ongoing newsletter and mailing list subscriptions for the first time. According to Google, the Gmail update for the inbox has been available on Android since the end of April and is now gradually being rolled out on the web.

Better Management of Newsletters
Through the new “Manage Subscriptions” overview or feature, users gain bundled access to all ongoing newsletter and mailing list subscriptions, according to Google’s support page. The U.S. tech magazine “Android Authority” has also discovered the new feature and posted a corresponding screenshot online. The page not only lists the names and email domains of the senders but also shows how frequently they have contacted users recently.
With a click on an entry, all received messages from a sender can be viewed. A “Unsubscribe” button placed directly next to it allows users to easily unsubscribe from further emails without detours–similar to the well-known unsubscribe options within individual promotional messages.

Availability on Android and the Web
While the new overview has been available in the Android app for some time, its introduction on the web platform is happening gradually. The feature is not yet visible to all users, but the company is expected to make it available for all Gmail accounts soon. A random check by the TECHBOOK editorial team showed that the new feature has apparently not yet been rolled out in this country.
Gmail for Android is also receiving another new feature: A new option in the notification bar allows emails to be marked as read directly–without having to open the app. This feature is currently being introduced through A/B tests at the account level and is not yet widely available.
Focus on User-Friendliness
With the current expansions, Google is improving the usability and clarity of its email service. The “Manage Subscriptions” feature provides users with a central point to relieve their inbox and complements existing tools for organizing promotional and informational emails. At the same time, the new “Mark as Read” feature on mobile devices is intended to make handling notifications more efficient.
However, when the Gmail update for the inbox will arrive in Germany is still unclear. There is no further information from Google on this.
