Element X is more than just another messenger—it’s a modern, privacy-first platform built for real-world needs. Developed by New Vector Ltd, Element X adapts the open Matrix protocol into a slick, high-performance chat experience offering text, voice, and video calling—all in one.
Users enjoy robust features like real-time messaging, video chats while browsing conversations, emoji reactions, threaded replies, polls, and pinned messages. These come wrapped in a sleek, responsive interface that feels modern and intuitive. The decentralized nature of the app gives users true ownership over their data: choose public servers (like matrix.org) or even host your own. Your conversations stay private, secure, and under your control.
Element X doesn’t just protect privacy—it embeds security throughout. With end-to-end encryption, QR-based device verification, and enterprise-grade single sign-on (OIDC), it’s built to resist surveillance, man-in-the-middle attacks, and big-tech tracking.
Another highlight is Element Call, a smooth, high-quality voice and video embedding built on MatrixRTC and LiveKit, offering encrypted, seamless calling both one-on-one and in groups.
While still evolving, Element X shines with its responsive design, cross-platform sync, and ongoing updates. Even early reviews appreciate its speed and security, though some users note missing features like threads or directory access compared to Element Classic.
Whether for communities, professionals, or privacy-conscious individuals, Element X is a meaningful leap toward secure, decentralized communication—combining control, clarity, and cutting-edge technology in a user-friendly way.
