How to Stop Reddit Emails (2026)

Stop Reddit email notifications and digests on desktop, iPhone, and Android, including the setting that unsubscribes you from all Reddit emails.

Reddit emails usually come from three places: activity notifications (replies, chat requests, upvotes), digests with "trending" posts, and product or marketing updates. They're controlled per account, so every Reddit account tied to your email address needs its own clean-up.

How to stop Reddit emails on desktop

Sign in at reddit.com and open Settings from your profile menu.
Open the Notifications tab. Reddit's help center says this is where you toggle each notification type on or off.
Look for the email settings (on current Reddit this is an Emails section or tab in Settings). Turn off the email types you don't want, or use Unsubscribe from all emails to switch all of them off at once.

How to stop Reddit emails on iPhone

From Reddit's help center:

Tap your avatar to open your profile.
Tap the menu (three lines) near the top right.
Choose Settings, then tap your username under Account Settings.
Tap Manage Notifications under Basic settings and turn off what you don't want. Email options (including Unsubscribe from all emails) are in the same account settings area, under the email settings.

How to stop Reddit emails on Android

Tap your avatar, then the menu (three lines).
Choose Settings, then Account Settings under General.
Tap Manage Notifications under Contact Settings, and check the email settings in the same area.

Other ways to stop Reddit emails

Unsubscribe link: Reddit emails include an unsubscribe link at the bottom.
Multiple accounts: If you've made more than one account with the same email address, each account has its own settings. Log in to each one.
Security emails such as password resets are still sent, which is what you want if you ever get locked out.

Block or filter Reddit emails in Gmail or Outlook

If some Reddit emails still get through, filter them in your email app so they skip your inbox:

Gmail: open a Reddit email, click the three dots (More) at the top, and choose Filter messages like these. Click Create filter, then pick Skip the Inbox (Archive it) or Delete it.
Outlook: right-click a Reddit email and choose Rules → Create rule to move messages from that sender to a folder. Or choose Block sender if you never want to see them. Blocking sends future messages to Junk.

A filter is better than blocking if some of the emails (receipts, security alerts) are ones you may need later.

Once Reddit is sorted, the next question is usually "what else is in here?" Inbox Zero's Bulk Unsubscribe answers that for Gmail and Outlook in a few minutes:

See every sender in one list. Newsletters and marketing emails are grouped by sender, with how many each one sends and how often you actually open them.
Unsubscribe in one click. Inbox Zero uses each sender's own unsubscribe mechanism, and you can select several senders at once. Select suggested picks out high-volume senders you rarely read.
Auto Archive what won't stop. For senders that keep emailing (like digest emails from old or forgotten Reddit accounts), Auto Archive files future emails out of your inbox automatically, optionally with a label, so they're there if you need them.
Clean up the backlog. Archive or delete old emails from a sender in bulk instead of scrolling through them.

For account notifications like Reddit's, the settings above are still the most complete fix, because they stop the emails at the source. Inbox Zero covers everything else, and it's open source.
