Description

Experience the next generation of sovereign & secure collaboration - it's faster, simpler & more reliable. Still decentralized, still built on Matrix.


Freedom to communicate on your own terms


For individuals and communities - private communication between family, friends, hobby groups, clubs, etc.


Element X gives you fast, secure and private instant messaging and video calls built on Matrix, the open standard for real-time communication. This is a free and open-source app maintained at https://github.com/element-hq/element-x-ios


Stay in touch with friends, family and communities with:

• Real time messaging & video calls

• Public rooms for open group communication

• Private rooms for closed group communication

• Rich messaging features: emoji reactions, replies, polls, pinned messages and more.

• Video calling while browsing messages.

• Interoperability with other Matrix-based apps such as FluffyChat, Cinny and many more.


Privacy-first

Unlike some other messengers from Big Tech companies, we don’t mine your data or monitor your communications.


Own your conversations

Choose where to host your data - from any public server (the largest free server is matrix.org, but there are plenty of others to choose from) to creating your own personal server and hosting it on your own domain. This ability to choose a server is a large part of what differentiates us from other real time communication apps. However you host, you have ownership; it’s your data. You’re not the product. You’re in control.


Communicate in real time, all the time

Use Element everywhere. Stay in touch wherever you are with fully synchronised message history across all your devices, including on the web at https://app.element.io


Element X is our next-generation app

If you’re using the original Element app, it’s time to try Element X! It’s faster, easier to use, and more powerful than the original app. It’s better in every way and we’re adding new features all the time.

What’s New

Version 25.04.3

Today’s release of Element X 25.04.3 is one of those quiet releases that includes a generous helping of improvements across the app such as


• You can now add a reason when Removing or Banning someone from a room.

• We've added an Advanced Setting that allows you to hide media by default in public rooms.

• Notification handling has been optimised to make delivery smoother for large accounts.

• Accessibility tweaks galore with better support for VoiceOver throughout the app.

• Cached files now expire, automatically freeing up your storage space.

Brilliant and beautiful chat app

Element X has come along way and is awesome all around. It’s super fast, and feels great to use being a native iOS app. And that also helps make the UI look top notch too. Plus it’s open source, meaning this app is free for everyone, forever!

Already the best Matrix client

Obvious stuff out of the way: It’s not yet (July 2023) a *full* replacement for Element.


This is a fantastic application. Sliding sync is the future of Matrix, and Element X is shaping up to be the fastest, most native-feeling Matrix client there is. With the amazing development and design team, it’s already my daily driver.

No way to share multiple photos

No way to share multiple photos or video files at the same time. No way to share photos/videos from system context menu.

Otherwise it has potential to be really great messenger app but adding dozen of photos one by one is only for most patient users… meanwhile we need to use different app.

I hope it can be improved soon.
