I expect them to move chat functionality to the official app. Facebook made a similar move many years ago, and I think they did get increased access to users' phones that way. Reddit might find it a harder sell, given that they have a totally different role in people's lives, and (much as I hate to imply anything nice about Facebook), a much less usable app.
