Chatter 0.12.0

New

• Beta features are now called Labs, where colored settings categories can be switched on
• Change slow mode, followers only and the other chat modes from the shield next to the emotes where you are a mod
• Choose in Settings → Typing whether the clock replaces the send button, sits in the input or is off
• Hide the shield in Settings → Typing if you do not need it
• Keep the whispers you send, wherever you send them from
• Log in through the Chatter website when Twitch's page does not load: by link, pasted token or QR code
• Pick your own color for messages that mention you
• Plan a message to go out later, e.g. in 5 minutes or at 22:00 (Labs)
• See version, memory, connection and caches on a debug page in the settings, and copy them in one tap
• Show who mentioned or whispered you by their profile picture, and the channel small at its corner
• Sort the inbox by day, in calm tiles, with your name picked out in new mentions
• Suggest Twitch smileys like :) and <3 while typing, starting at the first : or ;
• Tap an image in the chat to see it grow to full screen, zoom in, and open it in your browser from there
• Tap the clock next to an empty input to see your last three messages and send one again
• Turn on a slim input in Settings → Typing (beta), with all buttons inside it and the chat running on behind it
• Whisper in a chat of its own: a list of people, and a conversation with each, both sides as bubbles

Fixed and improved

• Add a channel, combine chats, add a word or log out in a panel that slides up from the bottom
• Ask Twitch at login for what coming moderator and channel tools need, so they work without logging in again
• Ask before clearing the inbox, and offer to mark all as read only when something is unread
• Block someone from a sheet that slides up, with the button now at the top of the blocked users
• Find settings faster with a search field on top, sorted pages and shorter hints
• Fix the catch-up summary saying that no phone has Gemini Nano
• Have TalkBack say which inbox messages are still unread
• Hide the inbox from guests, who get no mentions or whispers
• Keep the tab bar in place when a channel is removed, instead of jumping back to the first tab
• Make the Cancel button and a greyed-out button in sheets easier to see
• Make the settings easier to scan: shorter texts, a calmer notification page and a search that knows more words
• Make unread inbox tiles stand out with pure black, and drop the line under the inbox tabs
• Settings feel more alive: tiles react to a touch, rows open out and the search bar grows
• Show a picture and one short line when an inbox tab is empty
• Show the inbox's unread counts beside the tab names instead of over them

Full changelog: v0.11.0...v0.12.0
