A social media hack is helping Gmail users quickly unsubscribe from unwanted mailing lists, with many calling it 'life-changing'. The trick, shared by Instagram user Courtney Mangan, allows users to see all their active subscriptions in one place and unsubscribe with just three clicks.
To use the hack, open Gmail in a web browser and change the end of the URL from '#inbox' to '#sub'. This brings up a list of all mailing lists you are subscribed to, each with an 'unsubscribe' button. Clicking it twice instantly removes you from the list.
Mangan said: 'Without a drop of exaggeration, that is actually life-changing.' Commenters on her video were amazed, with one saying: 'Oh my god, that actually worked. Wow. Thank you!'
The hack only works on Gmail via a computer browser, not the app. However, some users noted that Outlook has a similar 'subscriptions' section in settings, and the Gmail app also has a 'manage subscriptions' option in settings.
