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 had the same problem. Now I have just deleted the app and installed it again, and it seems to work for me 👍

    It will work until your restart your device or update the app. Then it will revert to launching webview.

    Shout out to SimonNi for the fix!! Simply UNINSTALL AND REINSTALL THE OUTLOOK APPand the next time you open a link it will open in Chrome.

    Edit: After a few minutes the same problem is back.
