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

    I am kind of having a kick out of it.... :)

    And there is still no solution that universally works. Unfortunately no one can answer because MS has to fix the code first.

    You missed the point, @Plantje. You go into settings and change the browser to open in default app!

    ;)

    To fix this issue open the outlook app and in setting change browser to open default app

    Ensure chrome is then set as your default app in the main settings

    Are you serious?!?

    Why do you have to set chrome as your default app? I want to use Edge!
