If you want to disable the "Open Links in Default Browser" option on the Facebook Messenger app, this video will guide you through the steps. By default, Messenger opens links within its in-app browser, but if you prefer to use an external browser like Chrome or Safari, you can change this setting easily.

First, ensure that your Messenger app is updated to the latest version. To check for updates, go to your device’s app store, type "Messenger" in the search bar, and update the app if necessary. Once updated, open Messenger and log into your account.

Next, tap the menu icon located at the bottom-right corner of the screen to access your profile settings. Scroll down and select "Settings," then navigate to the "Photos & Media" section. Within this menu, you will find the option labeled "Open Links in External Browser."

If the toggle switch is enabled (usually shown in blue), it means links will open in an external browser. If you want to turn off this feature so that links open inside Messenger’s in-app browser, simply toggle the switch off.

Once you've made this change, all links you tap within Messenger will open in the app's built-in browser instead of redirecting to an external browser.
