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

    THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!! THAT WORKED!

    NOTE: His screenshot is not from the phone settings, it's from the Outlook App settings screen. Open the Outlook App and then, click the Settings Gear all the way at the bottom. It's the last option.

    They listened to us! I knew they would - that's why I wasnt so quick rant and get rid of Outlook altogether.

    Funny, mine had been workong but started back up opening in Outlook today. Then, I saw your comment.

    THANK YOU!

    This option was not there before. Must have just been included in the latest roll-out.

    Android pushed an update yesterday that we are required to accept by November 19. For those of you who were able to fix the issue by reinstalling Outlook and are wondering if the Android Update will bring back issue... it doesn't. I accepted the update and Outlook still opens my links in Chrome or in the respective app.
