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.
I had the same issue but I have uninstalled it and reinstall it and now the links seem to be going directly to Chrome ma rather than the in-house of browser as has been mentioned. But it was an issue thank you
If you go to settings in the outlook app and turn on use default browser, it will work in your chrome browser, or which ever one you use as a default.
This wasn't the case with the previous version
You're either lying or a terrible Microsoft moderator. How is it that HUNDREDS of users have this issue after the update and you can't replicate it?

No, this person is responding to a different issue....
The issue is: if you click a link in an E-mail it starts opening some sort of built in web browser rather than using the web browser of choice (in my case Edge)
The fact of the matter is, that in the version this specific issue is fixed as you can select to use the default browser.
However, this person mentions that the default "app" is used whenever clicking on a link. Something that is not true as well. In the Netherlands we have Marktplaats.nl (something like eBay) and whenever I click on a Marktplaats link from my E-mail notification, it doesn't open that link in the Markplaats app, no it opens it in some sort of internal web browser. Have a look at the attached picture. So, that is still an issue.
Fortunately you cannot do dism.exe /online on an Android phone. Otherwise that would have been the response :)
