Reddit notifications help keep you up to date with all your favorite subreddits. But when those notifications arrive in the form of emails, they can become annoying rather quickly. Fortunately, you can opt out of both Reddit's notification and newsletter emails easily on your computer, Android, iPhone, or iPad. Follow along as this wikiHow article helps you stop getting emails from Reddit.

Things You Should Know

On Reddit's website, navigate to the "Emails" tab of "User Settings" to unsubscribe from all emails.
On Old Reddit, you may navigate to the "email options" section of the "preferences" page.
You may unsubscribe from all emails online or in the Reddit app, or you may unsubscribe from just certain Reddit emails.
Look for the "Unsubscribe" option at the bottom of an email from Reddit to opt out of receiving such emails.
