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

Using Outlook for Android in business environments for email and scheduling
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.
It seems the only option right now (for mobile) is to click the three dots at the bottom and click open in browser.
Yeah, after Outlook has already opened it and sent tracking data back to Microsoft. Unacceptable.
What I have been do3is holding down the link, copying it then pasting it in my browser. It does not help with the apps I have installed. If it is not fixed in the next week I'll be installing a competitor product.
you can uninstall and then reinstall Outlook and it will resolve the issue until Outlook pushes its regular update. It's been at least 3 weeks for me and I haven't had any other issues.

Web browser is why Microsoft was sued back in the 1990s for have their pre-installed web browser (internet explorer) removed as a part of the windows installation. Seems like Microsoft developers don't know their history.
thanks for the tip. After reinstallation, links open externally and applinks in the correct app.
