Almost like a modern messenger: This is Steam Chat

Here is a summary of the most important info about Steam Chat:

• Steam Chat is clearly more modern than the normal Steam app. This is already evident in the design, but even more so in the communication.
• For example, it is only possible with Steam Chat to also send media attachments such as photos.
• Group chats are also possible.
• In terms of notifications about new chat messages, Steam Chat is also more advanced. The app almost feels like a full-fledged messenger (WhatsApp, Telegram and co.).
• The difference, however, is that Steam Chat is not based on phone numbers, but only on Steam accounts.

The latter also has its advantages: you can communicate with your gaming friends throughout, but preserve the boundary with real data such as your phone number and profile picture. Steam Chat (hier geht’s zu Google Play) ist deswegen sehr beliebt und auf immer mehr Mobilgeräten installiert.
