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

    I have the same problem, just started in recent weeks. I have searched many times for a solution /settings to change, this is the first post I've seen that matches what I'm seeing . It is more than annoying - my password manager only works in Chrome, for every link i open i then have to open another dialog to select "open in browser"  "in app browser"

    Yes very annoying, the strange thing is I have another 2 android devices with outlook and it does not happen on those, if it is a Beta option there is no way to disable it. Hopefully someone with knowledge about this will answer on how to fix this. So far I uninstalled Outlook and now I use Samsung Email app, looks like this is not going to work for microsoft.

    Same problem, this makes Outlook completely unusable and means I'll have to uninstall it and use anything else. Studipest decision in the world (they're probably trying to drive usage of Edge... Well guess what, nobody wants it).

    Hi Franco,

    Thanks for posting your concern here in the Community. I hope you that you're having a great day, in spite of having issues opening links in your email. Let's try to address your concern.

    I wasn't able to replicate your concern here on my end, when I click a link from an email, it opens the specific app. Have you tried reinstalling the app? Have you tried contacting the manufacturer of your device? There could be some settings that needs to be configured, since you've mentioned that it's not happening on your other devices.

    To notify me and have me get back to you, simply reply to this post.
