Launching new way to open links in Edge from Outlook for iOS and Android

Currently users open links automatically from Outlook for iOS and Android in their default browser. This change will prompt users to choose their browser instead. Users can choose their default browser if they prefer and configure that preference in their Outlook Mobile settings.

We apologize for not communicating about this change sooner, per our commitment to proactive change communication. 

When will this happen:

This is currently rolling out.

How will this affect your organization:

  • Users will be seeing this experience launch when they open a link.
  • If Edge is not installed, they will have the option to download it.
  • We are working on a configuration for you to turn this off if there is a browser your workplace already uses, and will provide an update when it is released.
