Updated September 5, 2025: We have updated the timeline. Thank you for your patience.
When users report an email as junk, they'll now see an option to unsubscribe-if the sender supports it. This helps reduce unwanted messages at the source and keeps users' blocked sender lists from growing unnecessarily. If unsubscribing isn't available, users can still block the sender as usual. This update simplifies inbox management and gives users more control over their email experience.
