Element Messenger. Core Features¶

• Security: the messenger uses end‑to‑end encryption (E2EE) – the server administrator has no way to view the content of conversations. Registration does not require a phone number; registration by email is possible, increasing anonymity.
• Convenience and accessibility: works on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android + web version. Supports calls via WebRTC/Jitsi, file transfer, bots and widgets. The interface supports more than 20 languages.
• Interoperability: Matrix users can chat with each other as users of different providers. Element supports communication with Telegram, WhatsApp, Slack, Discord, IRC, and other platforms directly from Element via bridges.

Deployment Features¶

• Containerized installation of Element Messenger in the hostkey.in zone;
