More About Element X - Secure Chat & Call
The Element X app offers collaboration capabilities such as chat and video calls with modern features like public and private channels, room moderation and access control, replies, reactions, polls, and more. It also allows for simultaneous chat and calls with a picture-in-picture feature, and supports decentralized and federated communication across organizations.
All of these features are provided in a secure and sovereign manner, without sacrificing responsiveness or usability. The app offers enterprise-grade single sign-on, easy and secure login and device verification through QR codes, end-to-end encryption, and protection against cyber attacks like MITM.
If you are a new user, it is recommended to use the Element X app from the start. Compared to the current Element app, it offers enhanced performance, a sleek user interface, and an overall better user experience. It also has enterprise-grade support for single sign-on, QR code-based login and device verification, and a natively integrated Element Call for video calls. The app also continuously improves with bug fixes and new features.
For existing users of the current Element app, it is advised to start planning the transition to Element X. The current app will eventually be phased out and will only receive critical security updates.
The Element X app is based on the Matrix open standard, allowing users to self-host their data or choose from any free public server. This gives users ownership and control over their data, without being treated as a product. The app also offers native interoperability with any other Matrix-based app, similar to email.
Privacy is also a priority with Element X, as it allows for encrypted conversations free from data mining and ads. Only the people involved in the conversation can read the messages. The app also allows for chat across multiple devices, with fully synchronized message history across all devices, including those using the legacy Element app and the web version.
The app requires certain permissions, such as android.permission.REQUEST_INSTALL_PACKAGES, to enable the installation of applications received as attachments. This ensures seamless and convenient access to new software within the app. It also requires the USE_FULL_SCREEN_INTENT permission to ensure users can effectively receive call notifications even when their devices are locked.
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
