Spotify is a website intended for listening to music while online and/or on a mobile device. Despite unsubscribing from every email they send, people have complained many times about how they still find unwanted emails showing up.
Spotify sends emails across several categories - playlist activity, concert alerts, new release notifications, and Premium promotions. If you want to stop getting emails from Spotify, the tricky part is that unsubscribing from one type doesn't stop the others, since each category is managed separately.
Here are all the ways to stop getting emails from Spotify.
- Unsubscribe from Spotify Emails
- Update your notification preferences in your Spotify account settings
- Filter Spotify emails in Gmail
- Block Spotify emails in Gmail with Block Sender (Easiest and Fastest)
How to Unsubscribe from Spotify Emails
Here's how you can unsubscribe from Spotify emails:
- Open any email from Spotify.
- Click the unsubscribe link at the bottom of the email.
If you're a Gmail user, you can unsubscribe using the Unsubscribe button at the top of any Spotify email.
One important thing to note is that unsubscribing from Spotify won't stop all emails. For example, if you clicked the unsubscribe link in a Spotify features and tips email, it will only stop the Spotify features and tips email. You will continue to receive other Spotify emails.
If you want to stop all Spotify emails, update your email preferences from your account settings or use Block Sender for a faster solution.
How to Stop Spotify Emails from Your Account Settings
If you want to stop all or specific emails from Spotify, update your email preferences from your Spotify account settings.
Spotify Website
- Log in to your Spotify account.
- Open the Notification settings page.
- Disable all the emails you don't want to receive and click Save.
Spotify Mobile App
- Open the Spotify mobile app.
- Click the profile icon in the top left corner.
- Select Settings and privacy from the drop-down menu.
- Open the Notifications page.
- Disable all the emails you don't want to receive.
How to Filter Spotify Emails in Gmail
Another way to stop getting Spotify emails is to set up a Gmail filter to automatically move those emails to Trash.
- Open Gmail and click the Show search options button.
- Type spotify.com in the From field and click Create filter.
- Select Delete it from the menu and click Create filter.
How to Block Spotify Emails in Gmail (When Unsubscribing Doesn't Work)
If you've already tried unsubscribing and Spotify emails keep coming back, blocking is the next step. Unlike unsubscribing, blocking stops Spotify emails before they reach your inbox - Spotify doesn't get a say.
Here's how to do it:
- Install Block Sender for Gmail. Open Gmail when it's done.
- Sign up for a Block Sender account and connect your Gmail account.
- Open any Spotify email in Gmail.
- Click the Block button in the toolbar.
- Select "Emails from this sender."
From now on, any email from Spotify goes straight to trash automatically. If you want them gone for good, Block Sender also lets you permanently delete incoming Spotify emails - skipping the trash entirely so they never show up anywhere in your Gmail.
Conclusion
Stopping emails from Spotify comes down to how persistent they are. Unsubscribing and updating your notification settings are good first steps, but if emails keep showing up, they're not enough. Block Sender works differently - it blocks Spotify emails at the Gmail level before they ever reach your inbox, regardless of what Spotify does on their end. Install Block Sender for Gmail at blocksender.io and take back control of your inbox for good.
