Description
Element X brings you both sovereign & seamless collaboration built on Matrix.
The collaboration capabilities include chat & video calls with the modern set of features such as:
• public & private channels
• room moderation & access control
• replies, reactions, polls, read receipts, pinned messages, etc.
• simultaneous chat & calls (picture in picture)
• decentralized & federated communication across organizations
All this comes in a secure & sovereign fashion without compromising responsiveness or overall usability of the app:
• enterprise-grade single sign-on
• easy & secure login & device verification via QR-code
• end to end encryption & zero trust
• protection against MITM & other cyber attacks
If you’re a new user, use the new Element X app from the start. Compared to the current Element app you will get:
• greatly enhanced performance, sleek user interface and overall better user experience
• enterprise-grade support for single sign-on (OIDC)
• QR-code based login & device verification
• natively integrated Element Call for video calls
• continuous improvements, bug fixes and new features
If you’re an existing user, using the current Element app - check out the new Element X and start planning your transition. The current Element app will be phased out and will only get critical security updates.
Own your data
Matrix-based, Element X lets you self-host your data or choose from any free public server (the default is matrix.org, but there are plenty of others to choose from). However you host, you have ownership; it’s your data. You’re not the product. You’re in control.
Interoperate natively
Enjoy the freedom of the Matrix open standard! You have native interoperability with any other Matrix-based app. So just like email, it doesn't matter if your friends, partners or customers are on a different Matrix-based app - you can still connect.
Encrypt your data
Enjoy your right to private conversations - free from data mining, ads and all the rest of it - and stay secure. Only the people in your conversation can read your messages.
Chat across multiple devices
Stay in touch wherever you are with fully synchronized message history across all your devices, even those running Element legacy app, and on the web at https://app.element.io
What’s New
Version 1.8.4
Hot on the heels of Element X 1.8.3 we’re back with our next release, version 1.8.4 that includes a shiny new addition stuck right to the top of the feature list. That’s right, message pinning is here allowing you to highlight specific messages in a chat for everyone to easily come back to in the future. Plus there are a handful of fixes in this release, including:
• That annoying bug where you were unable to swipe on an image or video to dismiss the preview.
• Messages sometimes failing to send through encrypted bridges.
• Tapping on a chat would occasionally show the Join screen instead of the timeline.
As always, you can find the complete set of release notes at https://github.com/element-hq/element-x-ios/releases/tag/1.8.4
Ratings and Reviews
Settings require desktop app
I think the app interface is great, but I don’t seem to be getting notification sounds, which is problematic.
EDIT: My notifications weren’t set to “noisy” in the desktop app. I’ve since updated that setting (on the desktop app) and now am getting notification sounds on mobile. Would be nice to control the setting for the mobile app also.
Almost perfect
I’m a big fan of Element and this version is a huge improvement visually and the performance is a big step up. The only thing holding out back from being my main daily driver is the lack of threads and spaces/subspaces. Once these features are added, this will be the only Matrix client I will ever need. Well, gif support would be great too. Im very excited to see how Element x develops
Chinese input
The Chinese input always has some problems, even for the latest version.
