Product details checked on 2026-10-31.
Element is a client for Matrix, a federated messaging network. It offers end-to-end encryption in supported rooms, but the network is more configurable than a single-service messenger. Check that a room is encrypted, consider the homeserver’s policies, and set up secure key backup so a new device does not leave you locked out.
What it offers
- Matrix network support
- End-to-end encrypted rooms
- Can use a chosen or self-hosted server
Limitations
- Encryption is not universal in every room or integration.
- Homeservers still process account and delivery metadata.
- Cross-device key backup needs careful setup.
