Element X Current Features Status #1915
Comments
@manuroe Can you add support for multiple accounts to the list as currently unsupported feature? |
Good point. I added it. |
Is "Element X missing from the share dialog of other apps (at least on Android)" already mentioned, please? |
missing from iOS as well as well as Shortcuts support |
EX apps do not have the share from other apps capability. I added it to the list. Thanks for the report |
Thanks! Can we include Shortcuts support along with that? I'm not sure it comes automatically... It was previously working in the old iOS app, before both were both were removed within the last month due to the encrypted rooms thing |
It would be good to have either individual issues for these features or have announcement posts on this issue (not just edits to the top level comment). That way we have a place to subscribe for key features we desire |
is a element-x client for desktop and/or web planned? |
Is OLM be replaced with MLS in future (or the implementation openMLS)? i believe to use standarized E2EE make Element ready for the feature too |
Would it be possible to separate each category into "Implemented", and "Not implemented"? It removes the intereperetation of the wording from the post. |
Is sending voice messages planned in the near future? Also, I think this is outdated: "No setting for notifications on room- or app-level" |
Voice messages are currently being worked on: #2057
Element web/desktop is receiving the Element X updates, but will not have a rewrite from scratch. Updates include sharing major components with the mobile apps, such as the encryption library, and new designs. They are landing with every release so you should be seeing improvements regularly.
You will find Epics, which are broken down into stories in this (element-meta) repository for all features. They are filed as we go along so please keep checking back. We are not filing all work too far ahead of time (e.g. we haven't filed issues for next year's work yet) so that we don't clog up our backlog and can keep it relevant. |
Any updated timeline on SSO implementation? I would love to test elementX on iOS, but my server uses Authentik for user management not login and password. Thanks |
We are looking into integrating MLS into Matrix, but we are undecided whether MLS will completely replace Olm/Megolm, or whether both will be supported at the same time. |
Better: Have a checklist. It's not hard and makes it additionally very easy to mark things as done. Additionally, can the corresponding existing issues for features be linked (if they exist)? |
Im in the same boat, OIDC with Keycloak. Any update on OIDC support? Is there an issue or PR I can track? |
Is there a plan to be able to join public rooms from element x? if i wanted to join #emacs:matrix.org for example. I was unable to find this when searching for issues. |
@SNThrailkill Already implemented, you need to put MAS in between. Keycloak works as the upstream OIDC for MAS, you need to make an initial sync with Syn2MAS. Did that around 3 weeks ago on my server, works pretty good. So migrating a homeserver which currently uses OIDC directly via keycloak needs:
MAS can be tricky, I'd recommend taking a VM snapshot before doing the user sync ;-) You can then use Element-X along the old Element clients. I need to keep the old Element on my devices to have features which are currently not supported by EX like direct voice/video calls. |
@jacotec I had no idea this was a piece of Matrix 2.0. Thank you so much, I'll set this up and start filing reports! |
I'd like to request the reintroduction of the image size adjustment feature when sending images via the 'Element X' Messenger App. This functionality was available in the older 'Element' App and would greatly enhance user experience. Thank you for considering this enhancement! |
Why are favorites and Spaces not part of the feature-list/timeline. It's basically impossible to keep chats usefully organized in the current state, which makes it borderline unusable. |
Both of those are in this issue. |
Are there corresponding issues for each bullet point in this list? |
The list of features I wish Element X on Android has:
Once all these features are available. Element X is almost on par with the core features of the Signal app concerning day-to-day chatting. |
Feature request:I would be great to have function to overrule the "Display Name" like an alias only on client side, in my local view inside the app. Why? For our little kids (They should get to know a sensible messenger right from the beginning ;-) ) it's better if they have the "alias" like mom or dad instead our real Display Names. Changing the room name is not an option, because the change is for both sides and by two kids i would have than two "dad" rooms for personal chats. That would only confuse. I hope that this request will be approved and implemented. If the post here is wrong, please let me know, I'll be happy to put it in the right place again. |
This is not the right place to request features. Please request features by opening issues for the features requested (but first make sure there isn't already an issue open for those feature). |
@freli83 - this is the issue you're looking for: matrix-org/matrix-spec#188 |
Important feature for me that the old apps have, but Element X doesn't and that's not in the list yet: Low priority rooms. Only with them you can be in many rooms passively, without them popping up your normal room list constantly |
When do you planning to release OIDC authentication? |
@ZelChief on your own homeserver you could use the matrix-authentication-service. on the homeserver matrix.org there is no OIDC needed. |
Feature request: URL previews in encrypted rooms in element-x mobile apps as per element-hq/element-android#2555 (comment) |
Are you planning to support Jitsi calls or that's going to be deprecated? |
@genofire would the standard synapse oidc also work ? can you elaborate why matrix authentication service would work and not the former, thx a lot |
Can I request that the description of this issue be converted to a check instead of a bulleted list? That way it's easier to follow what's available and what's not available yet? |
This page gives an overview of what Element X apps (Android & iOS) can and cannot do as of 2024-05-21 on Element X Android 0.4.12 and Element X iOS 1.6.8.
Homeserver requirements
The homeserver must:
The matrix.org homeserver is SS ready but not OIDC ready yet.
Authentication
Element X is going to rely more and more on OIDC as this is the most secure way for a matrix client to connect a user to a server. OIDC avoids users to share their credentials with a random app.
During the migration, EX is still supporting native sign in for simple login+password authentication.
