Today, we’re beyond excited to announce the first major release of Element X synchronised across both iOS and Android, which we’ve codenamed “Ignition” given it truly marks the point where the Element X engine starts to turn over.

As the online communication landscape evolves, the need for a secure and private communication platform has grown exponentially. This need is what drives us. We are proud to introduce Element Starter: a brand new offering designed to provide IT administrators with a free, self-hosted, and user-friendly on-ramp to the world of secure communications and digital sovereignty. Get started by downloading Element Starter.

We recently commissioned Forrester Consulting to deep dive into the future of secure communications within the workplace. The results are mind blowing! Off the back of the pandemic, organizations have been caught flat-footed. They now have serious problems with how their workforce communicates; from the shortcomings of email to the Wild West of messaging apps. We’ve made the study - The Future of Secure Communications - available for download.

For anyone new around here, we enable our customers to have true self-sovereignty over their communications through a combination of Element Server Suite (ESS) and our Element app. ESS allows our customers to own their communication platform and deploy powerful administrative tooling through our paid subscriptions. Customers host their own server(s) and customise it to suit their business needs.

Psst… don’t tell anyone, but: Android development on Element X has now caught up with iOS and we’ve released an early edition of Element X in the Google Play Store. Since we published our first release of Element X for iOS on the App Store in July, we’ve been swamped with Android users asking how to get involved too; and so now we’re officially making Element X goodness available on both platforms.
