Although many clients use the Matrix protocol, the foundation suggests new users pick up the ElementX app, which incorporates all the latest features and reflects what Matrix 2.0 can achieve.

The Element X is a stripped-down messenger app built based on the standard Element but completely rewritten for performance.

Intetesting, I'll give it a try.

Don't install "Element X" as it's their beta app. They already have released a normal one called just "Element" from same company. Element X doesn't have any way to sign up, so it'll just be super confusing.

The whole thing is beta anyway ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I've already tried Element and I barely use matrix so I doubt I'd miss the extra features Element X is lacking right now.

Element X is faster but extremely barebones, definitely stick to regular Element for now
