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

    PROBLEM SOLVED!!!

    probably with an upgrade of the app, they inserted a way to disable it,

    so for who like me struggled with this feature:

    1. From the home page click on the house on top left

    2)Click the gear on bottom left

    3)scroll down to the end of the settings menù

    1. unselect the 3rd last: "use default browser"

    Done

    Noooooooo!

    Go to the settings in outlook and scroll to the bottom. There should be an option to open in default browser. Enabling that fixed it for me.

    Really?!? You're the first one to point that out!

    It was first pointed out last November, on page 15 of this thread.

    I know....
