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

Hi
I was frustrated by Outlook opening weblinks inside the Outlook app.
If you tap the gear symbol (settings) in Outlook then go to preferences and select "Use default browser" weblinks will open directly in your default browser.

Click the Home icon in the top left corner >

Hope this helps.

I see this was already answered by ButterCup86 & DanTr_9, my apologies. @microsoft get it pinned!
Sorry forgot to add the sarcasm tags
This was first pointed out in this thread at the start of November, when this choice was added to the Android client.
Why did no one else point this out?!?
