Remove unwanted tabs

Step-by-step Instructions

Gmail automatically comes with Primary, Social, and Promotions tabs already displayed, but you can choose to remove or add different tabs.

1. Once you are in the Settings section, you will see the Inbox tab located in the menu on the left side of the page. Click on this tab to access the options for your inbox.

Under the Inbox tab, you will see a section called Categories. This is where you can make changes to the tabs that are displayed in your Gmail inbox. To remove a tab, simply uncheck the box next to it. For example, if you want to remove the Social tab, simply uncheck the box next to it.

2. If you want to add a new tab, simply check the box next to it. For example, if you want to add the Updates tab, simply check the box next to it.

Remember to click the Save Changes button at the bottom of the page to apply any changes you have made.

It is important to note that while you can remove or add tabs in Gmail, you cannot change the names of these tabs or create new ones. You can customize multiple inboxes.

Overall, removing unwanted tabs in Gmail is a simple process that can help you better organize your inbox and make it easier to find important emails. By going to the Settings section and accessing the Inbox tab, you can easily remove or add different tabs to customize your Gmail experience. So, it is a good idea to take a few minutes to customize your tabs to better suit your needs.
