A brand new year has just started, and alongside it, Element X is introducing brand new features and improvements: - Storage optimisation: The app will now run some background tasks after the update to optimise its storage use, so that the app will always be fast, and its caching size small. - Translation action: is now possible to translate a message, by opening up the action menu and selecting the option. This will use iOS automatic translation. - Permission settings UI is now responsive to the current user role and power level, allowing the user to only change the permissions that they are allowed to, and select only roles that equal or lower than theirs. - The process for creating a room has been streamlined, and its UI has been updated. - A lot of bug fixes and improvements to the overall UX and stability of the app.

Good news, everyone! This release includes a lot of great new features. First of all, we now support live location sharing. This allows you to send real-time location updates in a room, so your family and friends can see where you are, even when the app is in the background or your screen is locked while you’re out jogging and listening to music. In group chats, only moderators can use this feature by default, but admins can easily change this in the room’s permission settings. We’ve also enabled searching the public room directory. You can now browse the wide range of public rooms your server has curated and find and join the communities that interest you. Last but not least, users can now request to join rooms that support this specific access setting. If you come across an interesting room that allows join requests and you don’t have an invite, you can simply ask to join and wait for a moderator to review your request and send an invitation. Moderators can view all pending join requests in the rooms they manage and decide whether to accept or decline them. At the moment, creating or configuring rooms with the “ask to join” setting isn’t supported, we only support existing rooms with this access type. Stay tuned for a future update!
