Everybody eventually encounters somebody that they\u2019d like to block emails from, whether in Gmail or some other service. Whether that\u2019s because the emails have become annoying, abusive, or are just cluttering up the inbox, it can be a real pain trying to work out how to get that done.
\nFortunately, Google does make it fairly easy to accomplish in Gmail if you know where to look. Since most users are likely to have a Gmail address \u2014 given the global prominence of Android, and how good it is\u2014 we\u2019re breaking down how to accomplish that in that service here. So if that\u2019s what you\u2019re looking to do, read on.
\nHere\u2019s how to block somebody in Gmail on the web
\nNow, you can block somebody in Gmail both in the app and the web. But we\u2019re going to start with the latter method, addressing how you can block somebody online, using the web version of the email app. And it\u2019s a fairly easy process, as are so many of our how-to guides, albeit not the most intuitive one.
\nOpen the Gmail app on your Android or iOS smartphone
\nNavigate to the \u2018somebody\u2019 that you\u2019d like to block in Gmail. This example shows a newsletter\/offer from \u201cReadly\u201d being blocked \u2014 with Readly being an online service for reading or subscribing to digital magazines and newspapers that I\u2019ve recently decided not to use any longer
\nSelect the email to open it up
\nSelect the three-dot overflow menu icon located just to the right of the sender\u2019s email and details
\nFrom the resulting menu, select the \u201cBlock\u201d option, typically shown with the sender\u2019s presented name after the word \u201cBlock\u201d
\nGmail will confirm that future emails from the sender will be marked as Spam \u2014 although previously-received emails will not
\nConfirm your choice to block the sender
\nAfter blocking a sender, you won\u2019t or shouldn\u2019t receive any more emails from that sender outside of the Spam folder. Or, for that matter, messages on any other Google platforms, such as chat. However, the emails you\u2019ve already received will remain visible. To Unblock the sender, simply navigate to any email you\u2019ve received from that sender. Then you\u2019ll have two options, you can either tap the same three-dot menu as before and then select \u201cUnblock\u201d or you can tap the \u201cUnblock sender\u201d button Gmail provides within the email frame itself, as shown in our sample images below
\nConversely, you can also\u00a0report the sender to Google as spam or a phishing attempt by tapping the appropriate button within the three-dot menu. Or send the current email to spam via the appropriate button found within the content itself, as shown in our sample images<\/p>\n
\u2026or on your smartphone, in the app
\nOf course, most users are likely initiating or engaging in Gmail communications in the mobile app rather than online. So this segment of the guide will walk you through how to block somebody in Gmail in the phone app, rather than online.
\nAs might be expected, the process is fairly straightforward if not the easiest, given the density of overflow menus in Gmail.
\nOpen the Gmail app on your Android or iOS smartphone
\nNavigate to the \u2018somebody\u2019 that you\u2019d like to block in Gmail. In the sample images, this example is also blocking \u201cReadly\u201d \u2014 just as the example above
\nSelect an email from the user, or service you\u2019d like to block, as shown in our sample images
\nNow, within the email itself, there will be two three-dot overflow menu options. The one near the top of the page pertains to the email itself, rather than its sender. So you\u2019ll want to select, as shown in our sample images, the lower one. That\u2019s specifically the three-dot menu located next to the provided name of the email\u2019s sender
\nWithin the three-dot menu, select the \u201cBlock\u201d option. That will read \u201cBlock\u201d followed by the name provided by the sender
\nAfter blocking a sender, you won\u2019t or shouldn\u2019t receive any more emails from that sender. Or messages on any other Google platforms, such as chat. However, the emails you\u2019ve already received will remain visible. To Unblock the sender, simply navigate to any email you\u2019ve received from that sender. Then you\u2019ll have two options, you can either tap the same three-dot menu as before and then select \u201cUnblock\u201d or you can tap the \u201cUnblock sender\u201d button Gmail provides within the email frame itself, as shown in our sample images below
\nConversely, you can also\u00a0report the sender to Google as spam by tapping the appropriate button within the email content itself<\/p>\n
