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

    It's insane. Most annoying thing ever! Microsoft tried to do the same with Windows 10 S on my new surface go 2. If I wanted this type of craziness, I would be using Apple products.

    It is unfortunately quite obvious, Microsoft wants control over our browsing and wants to keep track so they can better personalize the advertising in the outlook app.

    Dear Microsoft, can you please add an option in the outlook settings menu 'open links in the browser, straightaway'.

    This is extremely annoying.

    Listen to your users.

    I think its until they push the next update, which will likely happen maybe once per quarter. Its been a month for me and no further issues. It may be a temporary fix, but it's a fix, especially for those who have had their Hotmail account for 20 years and don't wish to change it.

    Yeah, until it syncs with the server... then the issue returns.

    Not the fix. There is no "fix"  It's by design with the last update.
