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

Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
That happens when ppl try over engineering and get engrossed in "trying to Simulate" instead of "Trying understanding" the issues. (Typical Microsoft attitude and some ppl who adapt this approach).
Happy it worked.
Thanks! Why did no one else point this out?!
People have been pointing this out since October 2020, when the "Use Default Browser" option was first made available!!
Still missing for me. It seems this option comes and goes.
I may have a solution...its a recent change from Microsoft which causes this issue.
Go to the Outlook app, scroll all way down to the bottom and click the settings gear. Scroll down to Preferences. There is a new option for Use Default Browser. They finally fixed this in the latest update.
