Chattero is a Twitch chat client for iPhone and iPad, positioned as "made for people who live in chat." Official materials describe it as an independent iOS port of Chatterno, made by a single developer, and not an official release by Twitch or Chatterino.
Purpose Chattero is used to read and participate in Twitch chat on mobile devices. It lets users keep frequently viewed channels in tabs and switch with one tap; it also provides a variety of chat enhancements and moderation tools, making it suitable for viewers and moderators who spend a lot of time in Twitch chat rooms.
