How to activate steam keys through mobile app [Method]

[Leon]

So i kept finding people struggle with this, and today i wanted to gift a friend a key, gave him the usual link, and it didn't work for him even through browser, so i tried to find a way, and figured out maybe support can be of a use, and it was.

this is a video showcasing how it is done: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3JsNFZ92oPo

it will also stay open in steam app, and not go through browser, which makes me think why not implement an option to directly go to it easily.

steps:
- open steam mobile app
- click more options on top left
- select support
- scroll down till you reach search bar and type " activate product "
- select the first option to activate product key
- down at the bottom right there will be a hyperlink tex with "here" click it
- insert your product key there
- done.

I searched the forum here with different keywords, didn't find this method so i made a topic about it to share it so others can benefit from it as well! sorry if it was previously mentioned!
