This page is designed to give you additional insight, screenshots, and GIF files - illustrating Google Mail (interface and application) changes. This page was started in 2024, and we will continue to update this list, as U-M ITS confirms that these changes are active in our Google Workspace. Some of these changes do not get their own "page" from the Google Update team - so we thought it best to illustrate them here.
📝 Not all updates that you see "in the wild," like those that you may see attached to a personal "GMail" account - will be available for the U-M Workspace. 📝
Adding onto the ability to unsubscribe from individual email on web and mobile (from January 2024) - GMail is introducing a dedicated "Manage Subscriptions" view.
Click the "More" button in the left-hand side bar (underneath Inbox, Drafts, and Spam) - and you will see "Manage Subscriptions" has a dedicated view there, now.
See a short recording of this feature in use, on the Technology Management's SSC MiVideo playlist. The video is here.
Moving the unsubscribe button from the three dot menu to appear more prominently in your email on your Android and iOS devices.
You will see an UNSUBSCRIBE button (in blue) to the right of the sender email address - when you click to open an email in GMail
You will see an UNSUBSCRIBE button when you HOVER over an email message in your inbox. It's at the far right side
Note that this showed up in search - but not in my mail mailbox yet - as of 1/22/2024
Additionally, we know it is common for people to receive unwanted messages, despite initially signing up to receive them from brands or organizations. These messages often originate from legitimate senders, and marking them as spam can negatively impact the sender's email reputation and can potentially affect the deliverability of future emails. For this reason, we're changing the text of the buttons to make it clearer for users to choose between unsubscribing or reporting a message as spam.
