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

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.
Not sure if you're experiencing this still as its been awhile, however I just figured it out on my own Android device.

Hope it helps.
