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

    FWIW, for those of us who use outlook for work email,the Default Browser option is not there. Confirmed by Microsoft. So I still have to live this this BS.

    Haha...ouch...got burned...not! Can't really tell what is that bad, but yes English is not my mother tongue.

    On a serious note: why do people feel the need to claim they've finally found the solution? And why isn't the first solution just posted as answer and this thread closed. I've seen a lot of threats without solution being closed.

    Please understand I was being sarcastic

    Please understand that your English isn't good enough to pull that off.

    (Not being sarcastic, in case you couldn't tell).

    Why did it take them this long?! Or didn't it take that long? Was this perhaps months ago already fixed?

    If you scroll back to page 15 of this thread, you will see a screenshot from frglx that was posted on November 5, 2020, almost a year ago, showing that this feature was available.
