| How To Turn Off New York Times Email Notifications |
Step 1: Breathe. It's Not the End of Days (Probably)
Yes, that notification about a rogue squirrel holding a traffic jam hostage might seem earth-shattering, but trust us, you'll still get the news eventually. Unless squirrels have taken over the internet, in which case, we're all doomed anyway.
**Step 2: Infiltrating the Times' Notification Fortress
On a Desktop/Laptop:
- Log in to your New York Times account (unless you're some kind of news ninja who reads anonymously...we won't judge).
- Click on "Account" in the top right corner.
- Navigate to the "Email and Settings" tab. We're almost there!
- Find the "Newsletters" section and click on "View all" under "Your Current Subscriptions."
- Here lies the key! You'll see a list of all the New York Times email subscriptions you're signed up for. Click "Remove" next to the ones that are turning your inbox into a digital Times Square.
On the Mobile App:
Tip: Take a sip of water, then continue fresh.
- Tap the profile icon in the top right corner.
- Select "Account Settings".
- Scroll down and tap "View All" under "Newsletters".
- Just like the desktop version, you can now unsubscribe from any unwanted email alerts. Peace and quiet, achieved!
Bonus Tip: While you're in there, consider customizing your notifications to only receive alerts for the types of stories you're actually interested in. Who needs breaking news about the international sock puppet competition if you don't care about socks, puppets, or frankly, competition in general?
