Good news everyone! A brand new year has just started, and alongside it, Element X is introducing brand new features and improvements: - Storage optimisation: The app will now run some background tasks after the update to optimise its storage use, so that the app will always be fast, and its caching size small. - Translation action: is now possible to translate a message, by opening up the action menu and selecting the option. This will use iOS automatic translation. - Permission settings UI is now responsive to the current user role and power level, allowing the user to only change the permissions that they are allowed to, and select only roles that equal or lower than theirs. - The process for creating a room has been streamlined, and its UI has been updated. - A lot of bug fixes and improvements to the overall UX and stability of the app.

As we head into the final month of 2025 we’re wrapping up the year with one last release of Element X. Installing version 25.12 will net you the following changes: • You can now see when messages are still sending (or failed to send) from your Chats list. • Edited messages are properly reflected in the Chats list. No more worrying about that embarrassing typo! • Offline detection is now lightning fast and doesn’t leave you in limbo wondering what’s going on. • Read receipts no longer disappear when somebody changes their name. • The app now requires iOS 18 or above. We look forward to seeing you in 2026.

Good news everyone! This version brings some minor but welcome improvements: - The notification sound is more audible - The room list rendering has been improved - Opening a room in an iPad will now be faster.

The latest version of Element X is now available with an assortment of bug fixes and quality of life improvements such as: • Options to change room access, encryption and history have been added. • It is now possible to view the users who are joined to a Space. • Spaces are listed in the order you have defined in Element Web. • Your chats are once again accessible via VoiceOver.
