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 would first try going to play store and updating the outlook app. 

    It’s worth saying that when I did that just now outlook wouldn’t update. I had to clear both the cache and storage in phone settings/apps/play store.

    If that fails to resolve things go into phone settings / apps /outlook then clear your cache and if that fails go back in and also clear the storage.

    If that fails I’d uninstall the outlook app and reinstall.

    This was first pointed out in this thread at the start of November, when this choice was added to the Android client.

    This feature only became available to my Samsung S10 a few weeks ago.

    Just pointing out that not everyone had access to it.

    Hi Regile,

    I have the same issue, how can I fix it? I uninstalled and downloaded the office package 4x and it didn't change. Im depending on my agenda, so it needs to be fixed asap or I need to choose another app for my e-mail agenda. 

    This is really frustrating and affects my work and school. 

    I hope this can be solved fast.
