How to Stop Getting Emails from Instagram

The Best Way to Manage Emails From Instagram on Mobile

Instagram sends a variety of automated emails. The fastest and most effective way to stop receiving these emails on your mobile device is to use the Clean Email app, available for both iOS and Android.

Clean Email offers a dedicated Unsubscriber tool that works even when emails don’t contain an obvious unsubscribe link. It automatically detects Instagram emails and lets you stop them with just a few taps. Follow the steps below:

1. Download and open the Clean Email app on iPhone/iPad or Android device.
2. Sign in with your mail account.
3. Select the Unsubscriber tool from the left pane.
4. Click the Unsubscribe button next to the email address from which Instagram sends you messages.

Best to Unsubscribe

These Instagram emails are mostly promotional or repetitive and don’t require your attention:

• Shopping and Promotions
• People You May Know
• Friend Activity Suggestions
• Engagement Drops
• Reel or Story Reminders

We recommend unsubscribing from these types of emails immediately.

Best to Pause Temporarily

You might want a break from these but not a permanent stop:

• Reel or Story Reminders
• Engagement Drops

In the Clean Email app, tap the arrow next to the Unsubscribe button and select Pause. This is a great option if you’re not ready to unsubscribe but want a break from these emails.

Best to Keep Newest

These are only relevant when current—older messages lose value quickly:

• Comment and Like Updates
• Direct Message Reminders
• New Follower Notifications

In the Clean Email app, tap the blue arrow next to the Keep Receiving button and choose Keep Newest from the menu.

Best to Send to Read Later

Useful, but not urgent—save them for when you have time:

• Feature Announcements

In the Clean Email app, tap the blue arrow next to the Keep Receiving button and select Deliver to Read Later from the menu.

Best to Do Nothing (Keep Receiving)

These are critical for account security:

• Login and Security Alerts

How To Block Emails from a Specific Domain In Clean Email

Instagram sends many types of emails, which is why many users still see their messages even after they think they’ve unsubscribed. If you don’t unsubscribe from all email categories, then you will continue to see Instagram emails in your inbox.

That’s why we offer another option for getting rid of Instagram email notifications — block the entire domain. Here’s how to use this feature in Clean Email.

1. Open the app and sign in with your mail account.
2. Go to the Inbox folder and type in “instagram.com.”
3. Select all found messages.
4. Click the Block option from the toolbar.

This option also works to stop Netflix emails, turn off notifications from Wish, eBay, and more.

Move emails to a dedicated "Read Later" folder

So maybe you’re not ready to say good-bye to all your Instagram emails. Maybe some of them can be useful, but you don’t want to see them all the time. No worries — Clean Email has you covered with a dedicated Read Later folder option. The app can automatically send all notifications you haven’t unsubscribed from to this folder for you to read at your convenience.

Here’s how it works:

1. Open the app in browser, iPhone/iPad or Android device and sign in with your mail account.
2. Select the Unsubscriber tool from the left pane.
3. Click the Read Later button next to the mail address from which Instagram sends you messages.
