Element broken in Android 13
Video calls are broken in Element who ever is using Android 13. There are several duplicate issues filed for the same issue. Personally, i have tested calls between two android 13 devices and ran into this bug.

Where to find older versions of Element?
I have issues with Video call which is documented here.

Matrix 2.0: How we’re making Matrix go voom
Element X is an entirely new client written in Rust + Swift UI/Jetpack Compose (https://github.com/vector-im/element-x-ios and https://github.com/vector-im/element-x-android) which will eventually replace the legacy Element apps (https://github.com/vector-im/element-ios and https://github.com/vector-im/element-android).
The features already exist serverside; we're just working on getting them out of beta.

Matrix 2.0: The Future of Matrix
There are quite a few issues that they've stopped fixing in the Element app in favor of doing it in Element X, the one I've been following is where the iOS app causes a breakage in E2EE when you use the share extension, so they just disabled the share extension entirely and said they'd fix in X - https://github.com/vector-im/element-ios/issues/7618
But X requires Sliding Sync on the server, which is still a separate service to run alongside the homeserver and doesn't have a stable API, much less a spec (?). I am increasingly disappointed with how centralized Matrix is becoming, since AFAIK there isn't really an alternate client close to the same level of quality as Element.
I probably would've made all of the same decisions myself though, so I don't blame them I'm just a bit disappointed in how it's shaking out.

Matrix client Element's Spaces is out of beta
You're being downvoted, but I originally had the same question.
It's actually a native app. It's mostly Objective C, but increasingly written in Swift. https://github.com/vector-im/element-ios
There is clearly room for improvement, but apparently they just hired a handful of new iOS developers to work on it. Good things should be coming soon.
-
Newbie here. I have multiple accounts on Elements, each one with a different username and on a different server. Is there any way to easily switch accounts without having to sign out ?
afaik, there is no "official" way to do it: https://github.com/vector-im/element-ios/issues/590
-
Any intention on creating mobile apps?
Sure. Element for Android, iOS, and web

WhatsApp to move ahead with privacy update despite backlash
Every issue I had with Signal, and listed here, is solved.
One issue I have with the Element iOS client is that it doesn't respect system font sizing. So, for older relatives, that app can't be used. I put my mom on something called "Fluffy Chat" though, which does respect font sizes. If Element fixes that, I'll move her back again. It's kinda nice having multiple clients to choose from, though Element is by far the most polished.

Is there an IpadOS App for Beeper?
That lets me assume that they either have a restyled fork of Element, or are directly telling us to use Element.

Slack Ongoing Connection Issues
4. While core functionality is both broken and undocumented, the maintainers announce rabbit hole features that no one asked for and seem very much like distractions, like their recently-announced microblogging view/client[4]
In short the Element maintainers have shown little interest in making the platform accessible to the people who need its differentiating features the most, and have prioritized the "mad science"/technical aspect of their platform at the expense of the human element (end-users and operators).
It'd be cool if Element used their resources to hire some UX folks and community advocates whose sole focus is addressing the horrid accessibility of their platform. I think most users would rather see that than further "mad science".
