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

    The version I have is 4.2033.6.  That is apparently the latest version on the Play Store.  How do I find a later version?

    I didn't have the option until I found version 4.2044.3. I updated to the latest version and still had to look more to find this version.

    My app does not have tat option available.  I have checked the app store to see if there is a newer version but apparently I have it.

    I guess an update changed the default settings. Because it suddenly started to happen to me. But You can fix this in settings. Tap the mail icon on the upper left. The menu slider should open. At the bottom of that menu is a gear icon. Tap it. Scroll to the bottom. There a setting to use the default browser. Turn it on.
