How to Stop Reddit Emails

    SujataBy Gmail 4 Mins Read

    Once you sign up for Reddit, you are automatically enrolled to receive all types of Reddit emails. By default, the app turns on email notifications for every message, activity, and newsletter. 

    Although the intent is to notify users for updates, it could get annoying at times. As a result, these emails are lost in the abyss adding clutter on your Inbox.

    Whether you want to discontinue using Reddit or clean up your inbox, there is a way to stop receiving Reddit emails.
