Element X - Secure Chat & Call APK

Real-Time Messaging & Video Calls

Element X enables seamless instant messaging and video calls for individuals and groups. You can even browse messages while on a video call, keeping the conversation going without interruptions.

Public and Private Rooms

Rich Messaging Features

Privacy-First Design

Element X prioritizes your privacy. Unlike messaging apps from big tech companies, Element X doesn't mine your data or monitor your communications. You control your data, ensuring that your conversations stay private.

Own Your Conversations & Data

One of the standout features of Element X is the ability to choose where to host your data. You can use any public Matrix server, such as matrix.org, or even set up your own private server on your own domain. This ability to choose your server ensures that you have full ownership of your conversations and data. You’re in control – not the platform.

Cross-Device Synchronization

Element X is designed to keep you connected no matter where you are. It offers full synchronization of your message history across all devices, ensuring that you never miss a conversation. You can access your messages on mobile devices, desktop, and web platforms with ease, thanks to seamless integration at app.element.io.
