Tired of unnecessary email notifications cluttering your inbox? Follow these easy steps to stop them on X (formerly Twitter), LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram.
X (formerly Twitter)
Do you find yourself rarely checking X (formerly Twitter) but constantly getting notification emails that clutter your inbox and max out your storage space? Follow these simple steps to turn off your X notifications and declutter your inbox:
Instagram is the second most popular social platform, with over 57%[1] of the Canadian population using it. It might be your go-to platform, making email notifications from this social platform seems less necessary.
We recommend keeping email notifications on for passwords for security reasons. Also we want to ensure that you have Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) enabled for all your social and email accounts—it’s very important for maintaining your account security.
4. Turn Off: Toggle off the email notifications you don’t need.
LinkedIn serves a very different purpose compared to other social platforms like Facebook and Instagram. While FB and IG are more casual and for sharing personal updates with friends and family, LinkedIn focuses on individuals’ professional life.
Keeping email notifications on for certain categories can be helpful. For example, if you are searching for a job, it is a good idea to be notified about openings so you can apply within the timelines. However, if you are not job hunting and are still receiving job notifications, it might be time to reconsider these emails. If you are thinking how to declutter your email – check out our blog here.
4. NEXT STEP: Adjust your email preferences to stop unwanted notifications.
Facebook is the most popular social platform in Canada[1], so you are likely to receive a higher volume of notifications. To manage this, you might consider keeping email notifications on for important updates like birthdays and photo tags while switching other notifications to push notifications in the app. This way, you will receive fewer emails and keep your inbox less cluttered.
