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 "latest". Version on the play store then looked some more a few minutes later using different search terms, office 365 or Microsoft office, or outlook, I forget, but one search brought to yet a newer version when I supposedly already had the "latest".

    The version I have is 4.2033.6.  I know there are later versions but when I check the Play Store it says there are no updates available.  By the way, I am using a Samsung SM-T530NU 10.1 inch tablet.

    I've got 4.2044.3 and Habs the toggle .  If you don't have that version yet searching the play store using different search words. I thought I had the latest, searched again and found a newer version.

    Do you have set the "default browser" setting in your Android Outlook App? 

    Thanks! That was it! (I think I had to install the most recent update first, but it is working!

    You're welcome 

    It depends on the Android-version which outlook app version you get. 

    On an older phone with an older Android, there isn't the setting "open in default browser."
