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

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!

It only does this in the outlook app. And it does it with 90% of my hyperlinks. From adds to typed links.
If I open the same email in by chrome browser it opens it using the appropriate app. Like candy crush or the web site on chrome.
The last one of course.... if you have your E-mail open in a browser, it'll open links in that browser...
The same goes for Skype by the way. Links over there open in a "Skype browser" as well

No it isnt. This is a result of the app vendor using a wild card in their APP for which links to intercept. Changing the default browser does NOT fix this. For example the Regus app does this.
I was being sarcastic. This was the nth time someone came up with this solution without bothering to read a little bit further
