Along with `Chatto` there is `ChattoAdditions`, a companion framework which includes cells for messages and an extensible input component. You can find more details about how it was implemented in our [blog](https://techblog.badoo.com/blog/2015/12/04/how-we-made-chatto/). See them in action!

2. Include the following in your `Podfile`:

  ```

  # Swift 5

  pod 'ChattoAdditions', '= 4.1.0' # if you want to use the cells or the input component

  ```

  ```

  pod 'Chatto', '= 3.4.0'

  pod 'ChattoAdditions', '= 3.4.0' # if you want to use the cells or the input component

  ```

  ```

  pod 'ChattoAdditions', '= 3.3.1' # if you want to use the cells or the input component

  ```

  ```

  # Swift 3

  pod 'Chatto', '= 3.2.0'

  pod 'ChattoAdditions', '= 3.2.0' # if you want to use the cells or the input component

  ```

  ```

  # Swift 2.x
