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 similar issues and found the fix.

    Go to Settings -> Preferences -> Use Default Browser. (provided tou set your default browser to Chrome or something)

    This should solve the links opening in internal browser.

    P.S. For users who haven't found the solution, this should help.

    Omg nooo.   Henhal will get upset with this.

    Don't have that option on their phone.

    I really think removing edge would trigger Outlook to look for a new browser.

    You can alter this in app via the settings, choose "open in default app"  did this on my s10 5g via the outlook app. So yes is possible
