If you mean the function to “talk” to Homey by typing a phrase, try the text balloons on the top left corner…

[edit]  
See your last message now, that is indeed strange.

I may be wise to report this to Athom: [https://support.athom.com/hc/en-us/requests/new](https://support.athom.com/hc/en-us/requests/new)  
Could be a bug or maybe it’s “hidden” somewhere else in the Apple app.

I have a iPhone X and the chat function is visible both under devices and flows. So it can’t be related to mobile or something.

the answer from bram (athom-support) is:

> if you set up your homey with the german language, the chat symbol is not displayed because homey does not support the chat function for the german language (yet).  
> change the homey language to english or dutch and you will have the chat-function again.
