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

    They do it for the same reason they do everything   so that you are forced to use microsoft products for everything.   They love a good monopoly

    I can't conceive of any possible reason for this change - it's as though someone at Microsoft is actively trying to sabotage Outlook for Android.

    It's hard to believe that anyone in senior management at Microsoft is actually using Outlook on Android, and hasn't raised hell over this.

    I have heard from MS

    There is no way to default to chrome

    But you can click the 3 dots on BOTTOM of page and select open in browser

    I have been monitoring this thread for awhile and I decided I was done waiting for Microsoft to make a change. I installed the Edison Software email app. I've been using it for about a week and it has been great! I haven't noticed any features that I used in Outlook that I cannot find in the Edison app.

    And I no longer have to deal with that annoying built-in browser "feature" with Outlook. Done...
