I think both are correct.
I think it is possible to say:

Chatting to her/chatting with her/chatting away.

Please, post your question here: English Vocabulary, Grammar and Idioms. Professional teachers will certainly have an answer.

Good luck.

I am chatting with her/him/you
I am talking to her/him/you

i believe it is "chat with" and "talk to"

Hi Luby,

There is not a lot of difference between 'with' or 'to' in this sentence: 'I am chatting to her' or 'I am chatting with her'. The only point I can make is that both are used and acceptable and there is a suggestion (not a very strong one) that 'with' is perhaps more intimate/friendly.

Good afternoon Sir Alan,
Thanks for clearing my doubt.I always use 'chatting with' but some people say 'chatting to' that's why I thought I'm wrong!
If 'with' is friendly than I could use 'chatting with' only as usual.
