Hi, I noticed that all my links in my Android Outlook app open in an in build browser instead of the app, (such as youtube) This is really frustrating as I have to do other steps to find the option to 'Open in browser' so it then opens in the youtube app. This is for all links amazon, twitter etc. 

Is there any way to disable this option? I am unable to find it in settings withtin the app.

Thanks

    Try uninstalling the Outlook app and then reinstalling. I had to do it twice back to back, but I havent had any further issues and its been over a month. I suspect i may have to do it again when they do regularly scheduled updates, but ill see. I think its a small price to pay to keep my 20 year old hotmail account.

    I tried it 3 times, back to back... problem returns for me. [Mod Removed]

    There is the provider (in this case Microsoft), the email account (in this case hotmail) and then there is the email client (in this case the Outlook app).

    You can change your email client without losing your email account. You can access hotmail accounts via other clients like gmail, Samsung email, and tons ofnother email apps (email clients) available on the app store.
