How to prevent random people on G+ from emailing you: opting out of Google's creepy new system
If you are looking for a way out of it on your mobile device, don't, as despite having a link to settings for opting out, the ones you need can be found only if your access the desktop version of Gmail. So, go to your computer, and do the following, if you want none of it:
- Go in your Gmail account
-
Click the gear at the top right corner of the screen to access the Settings option.
- You should be in the "General" tab of the Settings menu by default, click on it if you aren't.
- Go down the screen until you see the new "Email via Google+ section," which looks like this:
