How many NPCs are in the Terraria Mobile Version?

How many NPCs are in the iOS version of Terraria?

I've checked the wiki, but it only tells me about the PC version. Does the mobile version have the same number of NPCs?

The game has a total of 21 NPCs that can move into your house. They are:

• The Guide
• The Merchant
• The Nurse
• The Painter
• The Dye Trader
• The Demolitionist
• The Dryad
• The Arms Dealer
• The Party Girl
• The Goblin Tinkerer
• The Witch Doctor
• The Clothier
• The Mechanic
• The Angler
• The Traveling Merchant

Additionally, in hardmode you gain:

• The Pirate
• The Truffle
• The Wizard
• The Steampunker
• The Cyborg
• The Tax Collector

Finally, there is one event NPC that do not live in housing:

• Santa Claus (shows up randomly between Dec 15-31st)

If you look at the wiki you can see a list of all the NPCs in the game. You can tell which NPC is only available in the PC version because these NPCs have a small icon of a computer directly after their description. It looks like this:

The PC and console have about three extra: the witch doctor, wizard, and truffle. You can only get nine before the PC and console update.
