Google Mail notifications can alert you of just about anything from a Google Calendar

invite, Google Forms email notification, Google Classroom meeting invitation, Google

Chat notifications, Google Chrome notifications, social media alerts, random

promotions, down to critical security alert sound pings you want to follow. If you don't

want to get notified anymore, the steps are easy on how to turn off Google account

notifications or Google Alerts in Gmail.

Step 1: Head to Google Mail

Log on to http://mail.google.com/mail/ and sign in to your Google account. Learn how

to create a Google mail account if you still can't access it. Logging in is critical or you

don't want to get notified anymore, then the alerts under "My alerts" must be zero. If

there are still a bunch of alerts there, click on a specific alert and look for the "Delete" or

"Unsubscribe" button to turn off notifications.

Step 3: See All Settings

Manually turn off alerts in Google Mail as you hover your cursor to the top right corner

and click "Settings" which is represented in a gear icon. A drop-down menu would

appear and you can see the option for "See all settings." Tap it and wait for a new

window to appear.

Step 4: Head to Desktop Notifications

Once you are directed to the rest of the settings section, scroll further below and look for

"Desktop notifications." You are given the option to turn on or off the notifications. And

your options are either "New mail notifications on," "Important mail notifications on,"

and "Mail notifications off."

Step 5: Turn Off Email Notifications and Save

Finally, select the option "Mail notifications off" so that you won't be alerted about mail

notifications again. Then, select "Save changes" at the very bottom of your document.
