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.
Just solved the problem by uninstalling Outlook and connecting Hotmail account to third party email app. I recommend everyone doing the same. Microsoft is forcing us into using something we do not want, there is no other way to push back.
Yup. Voting with my feet. Buh-bye Microsoft app.

Same here on Samsun S20.
It also happens on twitter app.
I found in settings a default app list which has tick box for using online browser.
But that has not helped.
I have messaged this thread to Microsoft and outlook on twitter.
The support there has worked.
I took the advice that Cosmin provided to you and the request was already listed, so I checked that I want it disabled as well. Unfortunately, there are only 178 "likes" for this, so I don't see Microsoft acting anytime soon. There are several requests with nearly 1000 likes that don't seem to be getting any traction.
As you and others have stated, I think it means I'm using another app I'll remove Outlook.
I got the following reply from the support team:
"
Hello, welcome to Outlook Mobile Support! My name is Cosmin and will help you!
Unfortunately, this is not a functionality in the app for now :( ! At the moment there is a work around, if you need to open a link in your browser you will need to click the link, then tap on the overflow menu at the bottom and choose "Open in Browser"
But please help us make Outlook better by suggesting it as a feature if you think that would be a nice addition.
Just go to Settings -> Help and Feedback -> Suggest a Feature. Developments are made based on the statistics generated by the users in this area, so don't forget to voice your wishes there!
Wish you a nice weekend!

This means the only properly working workaround is to use a different mail client...
