Outlook for Android opening links in internal browser

Yippee! Thanks.

I've noticed the same issue. After messing around a bit, I noticed a new preference option.

Go to : Settings > Prefernces

Then select "Use default browser".

Now, shen I clocyk a link in an email, it's back to opening links in Chrome inatead of the in-app nonsense.

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 found the fix.

Easy.  Go to outlook app.

Click on home top left.

Click on the cog bottom left

Scroll down to...

"Use default browser".

Then go into your phone settings and clear all browser defaults. 

Close outlook and open again. Open a email with a link and it should prompt you to select a browser.

This has been driving me crazy so I was happy to see the updates in this thread. However, I'm not exactly sure it's the same issue. For me, links do not seem to open inline in an embedded web view, instead they always open in Edge.

I also have no preference in my app to change browser - I just updated to 4.2043.3 and in my gear settings under Preferences there's just "Accessibility", "Theme", "Privacy Settings" and "Language". Where is this new setting supposed to go?

I'm using Outlook through my corporate Intune solution so there are a ton of policies that apply just to make my life more difficult, so I guess it's possible that my version of Outlook hides this setting, but my company policy DOES allow installing Chrome within the AndroidForWork profile so I don't really get why it would then not be allowed to use it from Outlook.

It's funny how Microsoft never seems to learn. We didn't want to be forced upon IE 20 years ago, and despite how much you want us to use Edge, we don't want to be forced into using your browser of choice on an OS specifically designed for openness and customizability. Bypassing the standard Android intent mechanism to fool us into using Edge is just evil.

The new setting is not in the phone settings, it's in the Outlook app settings. The settings gear is in the bottom right of the screen when you open outlook. The setting is under preferences.
