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

    I was unable to open up links in my Outlook app on my Android phone, so I uninstalled the Outlook app and opened up up Outlook email through my Gmail account instead. Now I can open up links inside my Outlook email.

    I did reinstall the Outlook app to use for my work account, but I didn't use the Exchange to link that email account to my personal account, so it operates separately. 

    No more problems.

    Sadly, the version I have (the latest available in the play store) does not have that option available.

    Extremely annoying but fortunately I found the solution. 

    Settings (gear icon) > enable default browser - see screenshot

    Same here, will migrate to another mail client. Stupid function without a solution forces ones hand.

    I just looked and i see an update for 4.2045  I may be wrong about two versions, I may have updated word or something by mistake. Or there ARE different versions depending on the search words used, Im not sure now.
