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

Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
I just looked and saw there was an update, ran it and now I'm up to 4.2032.3, still no setting for that unless it's hidden. His did you get to 4.2044.3?
I appreciate the screenshot but it doesn't change the fact that I simply don't have that preference in my app. Possibly due to corporate policy, but this is the whole reason for me asking.
If you have a issue with your company's corporate policies, they aren't going to be fixed by complaining in the Microsoft public forums.
Microsoft has provided a fix for this issue. If your company is blocking the distribution of that fix to your phone, that's not a Microsoft problem!
Frglx posted a screenshot on the 5th of November, almost 2 weeks ago, from the current version of Outlook for Android that shows the option to disable this behaviour!!!
Version 4.2044.3 has a "Use default browser" option right down at the end of the Settings panel within the app.
It was bad enough reading some of the ridiculous conspiracy theories people were posting about this annoying "feature" when it first turned up, but now that the issue has actually been addressed, people who can't be bothered to read the earlier posts are still complaining about it!
You don't need a workaround anymore. You can just turn the "feature" off!
I hate this new feature. The Microsoft must release at least the possibility to turn it off.
You can use your default browser by scrolling all way down to the bottom and click the settings gear in the Outlook app. Scroll down to Preferences. There is an option for Use Default Browser.
