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.
I know this was android, but the main issue is the missing option, in outlook app, no difference between IOS or android.
I added a corporate account to outlook app, as the default mail apps do not support MFA.
I still can open links in the browser of my choise.
Maybe try first to add a hotmail account? then see if the option appears , activate it (or deactivate it), after this test if browsers open then install the corporate account?
Maybe the setting will be removed but it will doe what you want... .
I was told that the reason I don't have the option to "Use Default Browser" is that I have a corporate account on my Outlook.
Which is even more stupid. Links, as the name describes, are just that - links to other things.
If that other thing is a protected site, no browser would let me in.
Otherwise, if it is not a protected site, what is the issue with opening the link in a browser or another app?
Your company's IT Departent manage the settings in a Corporate account, to ensure that employees follow the company's IT policies. That's the whole point of enrolling a device in a Corporate Account.
If you have an issue with your company's IT policies, take it up with your company's IT department. They are the ones who are preventing you from selecting this option.

This is also a major problem for devices like the Kids edition of the Kindle Fire. The built-in browser bypasses the parental controls on web browsing.
