Comments on Element - Secure Messenger for Android

★★★★★ Thanks to the bridging capability, has replaced all other messaging apps for me. So long Messenger, WhatsApp and Signal!

★★★★★ Can you please add a way to check and delete numerous chat messages at a time? It's too annoying to delete one per time with confirmation every time.

★★★★★ Edit: Love using it does have some encryption issues occasionally, this doesn't seem to be happening as much anymore. Hate the new beta layout, it's a terrible mess

★★★★★ This client is somewhat good if you're engaging in conversations using Matrix. However, something seems to be askew, because when I get a notification, if I expand it for the first time, it shows summary for more than one chat. But, when I expand one of them, it sometimes causes "System UI" to crash and restart after the black screen for less than 2 seconds. This happened with and without system updates for my Tab S8, Android 12. System UI no longer crashes on Android 13! Thanks for fixing this!

★★★★★ Excellent. Congratulations. At last, a messenger worked in Iran without the need for anti filter. The quality of voice and video call is excellent. Good luck.

★★★★★ It's what everyone should be using instead of discord which is full of spyware matrix lacks nothing and should be used instead

★★☆☆☆ Keep loading when I click I already have an account, this is bad app and bad developers it's just messenger app but took 50+mb, you need to optimize your app and improve this before you deloy it to production

★★☆☆☆ It's a good app for iranian people because it's still working on this country, but if I want to describe this app, it's like a stupid donkey, which is loading your stuff, but makes you suffering.

★★☆☆☆ On some phones when you make a video call with your friend you end up looking at black screen while your friend can see you and when your friend calls you it's the other way around. This bug was reported more than one year ago, but there's still no fix to it. We are using the latest version of Element.

★★☆☆☆ I don't have any issue with the messaging side of this app as such, but things only get fixed when people review what's wrong. The reauthenticate message doesn't do anything, so clearly there's a bug there that needs to be fixed. Also, when I am offline and send messages people don't get it. This means if I'm out of range or briefly offline messages don't go through. I use lots of other messaging apps and this doesn't happen with those. If you send a message offline, when you go online it gets sent.
