> What does your daughter use to connect with friends?

Steam and SMS, primarily. WhatsApp, too, but to a lesser degree.

And, probably, something else that I'm not aware of.

Steam? Can you please elaborate, I am getting old I didn't even know steam had a social component. (except people leaving reviews, or posting to game forums about parts of the game)

Steam has a pretty robust messaging system including multi-user rooms and voice chat, etc. They're directly competing with Discord on that front now. There's groups and communities and other social components as well, though I'm not as familiar with those.
