Element X Android is the next-generation Matrix messenger client from Element, built on the Matrix Rust SDK with a Jetpack Compose UI. It is a full rewrite of the previous Element Android app, targeting Android 7+ and available via Google Play and F-Droid.

Use cases

  • chat securely on the Matrix protocol from an Android phone
  • join Matrix rooms and send encrypted messages on Android
  • replace Element Classic with the modern next-generation Matrix client
  • self-host my identity while messaging from mobile
  • contribute to an open-source Android messenger built with Jetpack Compose

When to choose

  • you want a modern, actively developed Matrix client on Android with E2EE via the Rust SDK
  • you prefer an open-source, AGPL-licensed messenger installable from F-Droid
  • you want a Compose-based UI and the latest Matrix features

When to avoid

  • you need the full feature set of the older Element Classic client
  • you need an iOS or desktop Matrix client rather than Android
  • you require Android versions older than 7
