Unsubscribe with a Tap: Google Chrome Simplifies Notification Management on Android

For Android users fed up with unwanted website notifications, Google Chrome is bringing a much-needed change. No more navigating through menus and settings – you can now unsubscribe from website notifications with a single tap directly from the notification itself. This new feature, currently in beta testing, promises a smoother and more user-friendly experience, ensuring you only receive alerts you actually want.

One Tap to Unsubscribe: A Simple Solution for Android Users

Gone are the days of diving into Chrome’s settings to manage your notifications. With this update, you’ll see a dedicated “Unsubscribe” button right within the notification itself.

Simply tap it, and voilà – you’re unsubscribed from that website’s notifications. No more hunting through menus or wondering where to go.

How to Unsubscribe from Website Notifications with One Tap in Chrome

Ready to ditch the notification clutter? Here’s how the one-tap unsubscribe feature works:

4. Relaunch Chrome Canary for the changes to take effect.

Step 2: Unsubscribe with a Single Tap

Once enabled, the process becomes delightfully simple:

1. Receive a notification from a website you want to unsubscribe from.

Step 3: Undo Any Accidental Unsubscribes (if needed)

If you accidentally tap “Unsubscribe,” fear not! Chrome has your back:

1. After tapping “Unsubscribe,” you’ll receive a confirmation notification.
2. This notification will offer an “Undo” button for a short period.
3. Tap “Undo” to restore your notification subscription.
