How to Block Someone in Gmail?
At times it’s not enough to mark any mail just as spam as the
folders of Gmail are not purely effective, and the junk may find its way. At
times, you intentionally want to cut someone out. If you are receiving constant
emails from someone or have signed up to a newsletter you are not interested
in, you can block them. Gmail has got a feature that allows you to block
specific senders. It is now easy to block someone in your Gmail account using
the block sender feature and by setting up rules and filters to block senders.
How can we
block a sender in Gmail?
The web version of Gmail works same way o the PCs, Chromebooks,
and the Macs. Open the web browser and navigate to Gmail. Log in and find the
email by the person you wish to block. You will now see three dots in the top
right corner next to the Star and Reply icons. Click this and select Block
(name of person) from the menu. If you found yourself on a promotional email
list or a newsletter, this can also be removed.
Open the message and look right to the sender’s address. You
will find an option to change preferences or unsubscribe or change the
preferences, click on it and you will be removed from the regular emails but
can still receive occasional messages. Use the blocking method to obliterate
hem. It should not to be forgotten that the person can still send you messages,
but they will now go directly to the spam folder; you will not be able to see
them.
How can we
block people in Gmail on iOS?
For the users of iPad and iPhone, there is no direct way to
block the people from the iOS Gmail app. You will instead need to use steps and
hat too from a PC, Mac or Chromebook. The newsletters and promotional emails
can be removed by following some below steps:
Open the Gmail app and find a message from the sender you wish
to block, scroll down to the option to either Change Preferences or
Unsubscribe. Tap on this and follow other instructions too. It may take some
days for the changes to take effect but all the emails will cease after some
time.
Blocking on Android
If the email on your Android is sent from a legitimate company,
then there must a unsubscribe link somewhere. Most probably at the right of the
bottom of the email. Unsubscribing from these emails is a better option than
marking them as spam because it directly stops them from being sent to you. If
you are frequently getting messages from a company you have never dealt with,
these are more likely spam. To report a Gmail message as spam either open it or
tap and hold, then there will appear three vertical dots icon at the top of
Gmail, choose “Report as Spam.” It is simple and straightforward.
