Yeah, you're definitely not alone — a lot of people are having mixed feelings about the new Steam Mobile app.
Splitting chat into its own app feels like a step backward for convenience. The old integrated chat was simple and worked fine. Valve said they wanted to “streamline” things by separating features, but honestly, for most users it just adds extra hassle.
As for the Steam Link pairing — you're right. Previously, you could enter the PIN directly in the Steam Mobile app when pairing with your PC, but now that seems to be missing. From what I remember, PIN pairing was possible through both the desktop client and the mobile app, so it's strange to see that option gone. It might be a temporary oversight or a push to use Steam Link separately.
