1. Type in your email address and password to log in
2. Open an email of the user(s) you want to block
3. Click the button with three dots in the top right corner
4. Choose “Block”

How to Block Emails on Gmail Android and other Mobile Devices

Can you block emails on mobile devices? Of course! The process is the same—the only difference is in the interface.

Once you open the Gmail app and the email you want to block, you’ll see those three dots for the Menu button there as well. Click on the Block, and that’s it.

What Happens When You Block Emails from Someone

After you click OK and decide to block a sender, all of the future mails will go to the spam folder.

The sender won’t be notified about your block, and will still be able to send emails.

Unsubscribing from Emails on Gmail

You can unsubscribe from mass emails without the need to block the sender. The process is the same for desktop and mobile devices.

1. Open the mass email
2. Scroll down to the end
3. Click the “Unsubscribe” button
4. Sometimes, instead of “Unsubscribe” it will say “Change Preferences”
5. Click on it and follow the directions

The steps you will need to follow after that aren’t always the same.

Now you know how to unsubscribe from emails on Gmail without blocking the user who sends it. This can come in handy if you ever subscribe to the mass mails unintentionally but still want to receive other emails from that sender.

How to Stop Spam Emails on Gmail

You can stop receiving spam emails from one or multiple senders by reporting them. While reporting spam email with DoNotPay is easier, you can also figure out how to block spam emails on Gmail.

You’ll find both the Report Spam and Report Phishing options once you click the three dots in the upper right corner in the email you consider malicious.

Another solution is to move an email to the spam folder manually. Gmail will then automatically place all future emails of the same sender in the same folder.

Once you learn how to stop spam emails, you’ll be able to do it anytime you receive them. The same steps apply when you want to know how to block spam email on Android and iOS.

Reporting email abuse and phishing is significant for all Gmail users since it removes fake and malicious senders.

How Do I Permanently Block an Email Address in Gmail

Do you have experience with a platform where the senders become unblocked after some time? By using DoNotPay, you can rest assured that your block will stay permanent and that you’ll stop receiving emails from those senders.

1. Log into your account
2. Click on the Gear icon
3. Go to Settings
4. Select “Filters and blocked addresses”
5. Choose to create a new filter
6. Type the email you want to keep out of the spam box
7. Select “Create filter”
8. Check the box that says “Never send it to spam”
9. Check “Also apply filter to matching messages”
10. Click “Create filter”

Now the emails from that sender will go to your primary inbox directly, and you won’t miss any important information.

How to Unblock an Email on Gmail

Have you made a mistake and blocked an email address you didn’t want to? Do you want to unblock an account after some time?
