Dass die Themen "#Sicherheit" und "#Datenschutz" nicht zwingend Hand in Hand gehen, erkennt man hervorragend am Beispiel von Messenger-Diensten fürs #Smartphone.

So kann man etwa #WhatsApp aus rein technischer Sicht durchaus als sicheren #Messenger bezeichnen – am Thema Datenschutz klebt dennoch ein gigantisches Fragezeichen. Stichwort: #Metadaten.

In c’t 9/2025

haben wir uns eine kleine Auswahl an Messengern genau angeschaut, miteinander verglichen und auch einen Blick darauf geworfen, wie sich die Technik der Messenger und ihr politisches Umfeld entwickeln. Dazu passend sprechen wir in diesem c’t uplink darüber, wie moderne Ende-zu-Ende-Verschlüsselung in ihren Grundzügen funktioniert und wie sich die einzelnen Produkte unterscheiden. Wie ist das mit Metadatenerfassung und Datenschutz? Und was will die EU mit der #Chatkontrolle ?

If you are living in a country with internet restrictions, blocking and censorship but want to talk to friends or family in other countries, you are probably using a VPN, WhatsApp, Telegram or something else.

The last weeks I was using Matrix and Element to talk to my wife who is currently in Iran (I am in Germany) and it works perfect!

Connecting and establishing the call takes a few seconds but then the audio quality is great, low delay, video is great, too!

Question to the #Matrix people out there. As far as I understand it "Element Calls" is the new Voip standard for Matrix, implemented in #ElementX on Android.

This means that when I use ElementX I can call other ElementX clients. My #Element desktop client doesn't receive the calls and I can't call a ElementX client from the desktop. I don't know the status on iOS as there is no such thing as ElementX as far as I know.

Is there somewhere a overview about the implementation status / roadmap?

I have now filed a bug report about the web version of #Element (the flagbearing #Matrix client) constantly using/waking my CPU while it is unfocused in a background tab in Firefox: github.com/element-hq/element-

I'm hoping I'm not the only one observing this issue, and that some power saving improvements can be made, because to me this would look like a big drain on battery life for modern #laptops that *need* you to let their CPUs sleep while idle.

ElementX is *so* much faster than the current stable versions of Element and its various soft forks (I'm currently using SchildiChat).

As I've said before, I'm guessing it will take another 6-12 months for all the Matrix 2.0 upgrades to be rolled out and fully stabilized in the various app and server software. But if ElementX performance is anything to go by, the new and improved Matrix ecosystem will be well worth an open-minded test.
