# How to Remove SMS Consent from a Profile

## Overview

It is essential to regularly clean your list to remove unengaged recipients. Continuously sending SMS messages to someone who no longer has interest in them can result in spam complaints and impact your deliverability. In order to unsubscribe someone from SMS, you have to remove consent from their profile. After doing so, you won't be able to message them again until they opt back in.

In this guide, we will show you how to manually remove SMS consent from an AVADA profile.


## Remove SMS consent from a profile

Navigate to the **Audiences** section from the dashboard. Click the recipient that you want to remove SMS consent for.

### Step 2. Change the status
