Element is launching the world’s first communications platform based on the upcoming Matrix 2.0 release. The result is blazing performance which outperforms the mainstream alternatives - across a decentralised system that enables self-hosting and end-to-end encryption - as well as open standard interoperability to revolutionise real time communication between large organisations.

Built on Matrix 2.0, Element X now rivals the performance of centralised consumer messaging apps, empowering organisations to address the shadow IT issues caused by consumer-grade messaging apps in the workplace.

The new Element communications solution consists:

  • Element X, our next-gen app with an array of new features
  • Element Call fully integrated into Element X, for native Matrix-encrypted voice and video
  • Element Server Suite, our backend hosting solution for powerful admin control and Matrix 2.0 performance

What do you find WTF about it?

That’s a lot of data collection.

That's the problem with how the app store presents privacy info: without context it's nearly meaningless. "may be collected". It's optional, but that's not show here. The Play store does show that these are all optional.

"Collected" is also a scary word here. Having my location "collected" sounds scary, but what it actually may mean is that I can optionally and explicitly share my location with a contact.
