This is a "Unified Messages" feature.

I'm not sure how images are being uploaded physically. But doing a quick glance with NHA2, I see 4 messages when uploading an image:

  1. ServiceMethod (in) CloudClient.NotifyAppStateChange#1
  2. ServiceMethodCallFromClient (out) Cloud.GetAppFileChangelist#1
  3. ServiceMethod (in) FriendMessagesClient.IncomingMessage#1
  4. ServiceMethodResponse (in) Cloud.GetAppFileChangelist#1

Step 3 is just an incoming response of the chat message, containing the image in bbcode Step 4 appears to be a list of recent uploaded images.

I looked into this more and found the mobile app and web chat use the following urls when uploading.

https://steam-chat.com/chat/beginfileupload/ https://steam-chat.com/chat/commitfileupload/

With this information, I looked online and noticed steam.py has already implemented this, this may be a good point to understand and possibly implement
