How To Install Steam Chat
Take your Steam friends, groups, and conversations with you wherever you go.
The Steam Chat app includes many key features of the desktop Steam client chat, including:
Friends List – See who’s in game or online at a glance. You'll see your custom categories and favorites bar just like you can on your PC.
Rich Chat – Your chats get even better with higher fidelity links, videos, tweets, GIFs, Giphy, Steam emoticons, and more.
Invite Links – Add new friends on Steam with a link. Generate an invite link you can text or email.
Customizable Notifications – Mobile notifications mean you'll never miss a message or game invite. You can customize your notifications per friend, group chat, and chat channel.
Group Chats - Get everyone on the same page. Groups make it easier to do things like stay in touch with your communities and organize game night with your best friends.

Now it just doesn't work at all. Every conversation you click on results in a crash to the OS. 2 years later. The app half functions. if you minimize the app to use another you MUST close it first otherwise it won't load. Just constant black screen. it's an absolute headache. it'll never get better.

I've seen some pretty negative reviews of this app. I can understand where they're based off of, but they're exaggerating. Would love to see voice chat and a couple other desktop app features, but other than that, great app! Edit: it would appear that GIFs don't play. As I use this app quite frequently when I'm away from home, being able to see what my friends are sending would be useful. Valve, if you put some more effort into this - heck, put HL3 on hold - you could rival Discord.

This app legitimately sucks. I have not been able to log in since I downloaded it. I have tried force stopping, and reinstalling it. I know my info is correct as I use the Steam App on my phone as well, yet every time I try to message a friend through Steam I am forced to attempt to use this garbage. I can't even get past logging in. It keeps telling me "there was a problem logging you in" and the retry button does nothing. Either fix this app or move messaging back to the main Steam app.
