Outlook for Android opening links in internal browser

Anonymous

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

Why did it take them this long?! Or didn't it take that long? Was this perhaps months ago already fixed?

If you scroll back to page 15 of this thread, you will see a screenshot from frglx that was posted on November 5, 2020, almost a year ago, showing that this feature was available.

They finally fixed this in the latest update. 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.

Thanks for that. This option was already visible but was disabled. It seems to have been fixed in version 4.2130.0 from a few days ago.
