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

    Sorry but I cannot see "Use default browser" option.

    Under the Preferences header I only see Accessibility, Theme and Privacy Settings options.

    Also does this (Use Default Browser) flag will resolve the App launching as well? Currently my app is launched within Outlook app and not as separate instance.

    I am wondering about this one as well! Pointed it out as an issue before, but somebody cut me off!

    I don't like this "service" that every link that is clicked is opened within Outlook as much as possible. Just open the associated app and open the link there...

    I have 4.2048.4

    Then you have the version that includes the "Use default browser" setting.

    I have updated the outlook app but still cannot see the "Use Default Browser" option in Outlook settings.

    I am in Gulf region. Is the update available in gulf region?

    So what version number are you running in the Gulf Region?
