Organise your chats your way with Sections

Danielle Kirkwood — Thu, 16 Jul 2026 07:26:00 GMT

If your All Chats list has grown to the point where finding anything feels like work, you're not alone. A long, flat list of rooms and DMs doesn't scale — the important conversations get buried, the noise is always visible, and keeping on top of it all requires more effort than it should. Introducing sections!

Drag and drop rooms into sections

What's new

Sections lets you create named groups for your rooms to organise them however makes sense for you. You might have a section for a specific project, a team, a client, or just a catch-all for low-traffic chats you want out of the way. The structure is yours to define.

Your existing Favourites, Low Priority, and Chats categories are not going anywhere: they’re now default sections. These replace the old filter buttons — rather than toggling between views, your rooms are grouped in one consistent place.

Sections only appear when they contain rooms in the space you’re browsing, so your list stays clean. You can still find them and add rooms to them via the room context menu.

How it works

To create a section, open the room list menu (+) and select "New section". Give it a name, and it appears in your All Chats list ready to populate.

Creating a new section

Adding a room into a section is as simple as dragging a room and dropping it into a section. If the section doesn’t appear, you can right-click any room and select "Move to Section" — from there you can assign it to any of your sections, default or custom.

Move a room to a section

Sections can be collapsed to hide their contents, which is particularly useful for keeping low-priority groups out of view without losing them entirely. When a section contains unread messages, it tells you.

Sections with unreads

Sections are available now in Element. We'd love to hear how the feature fits into your workflow — and what you'd like to see improved or extended as we continue to develop it.

We don't just ship features and move on. If Sections don’t work for you, help us refine them. Raise a ticket or use the in-app feedback form. To disable it entirely use develop.element.io or Element Nightly, heading to Settings > Preferences and “Disable Sections”.

We’re interoperable, so you can be sovereign

We’re interoperable, so you can be sovereign

July 08, 2026

Interoperability

Interoperability is the foundation of digital sovereignty; it’s the key ingredient in making sure the end-user stays in control, rather than the vendor.

In reality, of course, most vendors want to be the one with the power. Vendors aim to lock their users in, and to build a proprietary walled garden as quickly as possible. This is why WhatsApp users can only message other WhatsApp users. Likewise, it’s Teams to Teams, Slack to Slack, Wire to Wire, Signal to Signal, Zoom to Zoom.

These walled gardens have become regarded as normal. But it’s not how the original web was designed, and it’s not how previous communications solutions – such as telephones and email – operate. All three have interoperability as their foundation.

The importance of interoperability

Interoperability is the ability of different systems, platforms, and organisations to communicate and work together seamlessly, regardless of who built the underlying technology. Its importance lies in the fact that without it, digital infrastructure fragments into isolated silos - agencies can't coordinate, allies can't communicate securely across borders, and organisations become permanently dependent on a specific vendor.

For governments in particular, interoperability is a prerequisite for genuine digital sovereignty: it means you can switch suppliers without losing your data or your network, federate securely with partners without routing traffic through a third-party cloud, and build on standards that outlast any single commercial relationship. In short, interoperability is what transforms communications infrastructure from a vendor dependency into a genuine strategic asset that the government, not the market, controls.

Interoperability is not technically difficult. The reason traditional vendors don't offer it is not that they can't - it's that they don't want to. Interoperability removes the most powerful commercial lever a software company has: the cost of exit.

Whereas if your customers can leave easily, most importantly, they can genuinely trust you. Second, as the vendor, you have to keep on innovating and delivering to continue to earn their business.

Two parts of interoperability

When it comes to communications infrastructure, interoperability needs to operate on two distinct levels, and governments evaluating their sovereignty posture should be clear-eyed about both.

The first is server-side interoperability. This revolves around the ability to pick and mix your backend set-up; being able to switch easily between various vendors’ products and services, as well as the option to bring in in-house developed FOSS components, as needs evolve.

Being vendor-locked is a slow-motion disaster; your data, identity management, chat history, and operational logic all become entangled in one non-interoperable backend.

When the moment comes to migrate - a result of geopolitical risk, cost, policy or simply because a better option has emerged - you discover that "migration" really means a big “rip and replace” with all the risk, cost, and distraction that creates.

The second is open standard federation. This is about the ability for separate deployments - potentially from entirely different vendors, or bespoke-built in-house systems - to connect and exchange messages with one another. Without an open standard underpinning this, federation simply doesn't happen: siloed systems stay siloed, and cross-agency or cross-border collaboration requires either everyone standardising on the same vendor, or clunky, insecure workarounds.

Open standard federation alone isn't the same thing as sovereignty. A government could federate beautifully across agencies while every one of those agencies remains individually locked into a single vendor's backend.

Real digital sovereignty requires both: open federation between deployments, and the freedom to choose, combine, or replace the server-side stack. A full Matrix stack delivers on both: an open standard for federation, and a stack with no server-side lock-in.

European Big Tech solves nothing

With geopolitics evolving rapidly, governments - particularly those in Europe - are moving quickly to ensure they are in control of their communications technology. There has been considerable momentum to ‘buy European,’ but the focus should be on avoiding the same vendor-lock business model.

If a government replaces Microsoft Teams with a similarly proprietary European alternative, all it’s done is change the nationality of its dependency. The vendor still controls the protocol, the data format, and the roadmap; the government still cannot federate freely with other agencies or allies, cannot migrate without rebuilding its communications network from scratch, and cannot independently audit or extend the platform without the vendor's permission.

As Germany's Federal Minister for Digital, Karsten Wildberger, put it at the Summit on European Digital Sovereignty: "Digital sovereignty means having choices, so no single technology and provider becomes a dependency that can be used against our interests."

Recent years have demonstrated exactly how fragile centralised communication systems can be; through technical failures, geopolitical pressure and decisions made in foreign jurisdictions without warning. The evidence is detailed in our study. The pattern is structural.

Matrix is built for interoperability

Element operates on the Matrix open standard. Matrix-based components are interchangeable, whether that’s various parts on the server-side, or mix and matching between backends and frontends.

There’s a whole range of FOSS components. Element's own FOSS components are publicly available to support the community and smaller deployments. These components are a large part of Element being recognised as a Digital Public Good.

There’s also an ever-increasing range of Matrix-based productised offerings. Ours are primarily Element Server Suite Pro and Element Pro, as well as related SLAs and technical support, and are designed for government use.

Organisations can switch vendors, bring infrastructure in-house, or commission services from any of the 40+ vendors in the Matrix ecosystem without losing continuity, history or connectivity.

Open standard federation

The Matrix open standard also enables federation between separate organisations. A recent example to go live is from Sweden where two of Sweden's major public sector agencies, Försäkringskassan (the Swedish Social Insurance Agency) and Trafikverket (the Swedish Transport Administration), successfully federated their communications systems; with Försäkringskassan using Element (branded as SAFOS Chatt) and Trafikverket using Rocket.Chat.

Totally different Matrix-based systems, from different vendors or developed in-house, provide the perfect foundation for communications across an entire ecosystem (such as Germany’s healthcare system), cross-border collaboration or mission partnership environments.

Disruption with purpose

We're proud to be a disruptive force. Matrix, created by the team that founded Element, was disruptive by design. It was conceived as the missing communications layer of the internet, which is the genesis of its decentralised architecture which - alongside the interoperability that comes from being an open standard - is what makes genuine digital sovereignty possible.

For Matrix to deliver on that promise, it has to operate independently of any single commercial interest. It is overseen by The Matrix.org Foundation, a non-profit supported by a broad coalition of end-user organisations and vendors; a governance model that ensures the standard remains a public good, not a product.

Element has backed that principle with action, contributing substantial amounts of open source software to the project. That commitment reflects something we believe deeply; that governments and citizens should remain in control of their own communications infrastructure. It's a long-term investment in an ecosystem we want to see thrive.

The growth of Matrix - across government deployments, allied nations, and an expanding community of vendors and implementers - is genuinely exciting to witness. A healthy, competitive Matrix ecosystem is exactly what the standard was designed to produce. It drives innovation, raises the bar for everyone building on Matrix, and gives governments the freedom to choose suppliers on merit rather than out of necessity.

The disruption is spreading. Governments are addressing the way they procure open source software responsibly, recognising that the long term value of standards like Matrix depend on sustaining the projects that underpin them. That points to a future where open, interoperable infrastructure is the norm; to the benefit of governments and the citizens they serve.

Matrix-based ZaPuK confirmed as a core component within Germany’s Deutschland-Stack

Matrix-based ZaPuK confirmed as a core component within Germany’s Deutschland-Stack

June 30, 2026

Interoperability

On 17 June Germany’s federal government and 16 Länder (states), led by The IT Planning Council, confirmed that ZaPuK will be a cornerstone of Germany’s Deutschland-Stack.

The Deutschland-Stack (D-Stack) is Germany’s national sovereign technology platform designed to serve as a uniform, cross-governmental IT architecture. Managed by the Federal Ministry for Digital Affairs and State Modernisation (BMDS), it aims to consolidate Germany's highly fragmented federal, state and municipal IT systems into a unified digital operating system by 2028. It does this through the use of a shared ‘construction kit’ of reusable baseline services, including secure infrastructure and interoperable open source components.

As the Matrix open standard is already embedded in ZaPuK, Matrix is now also a part of Deutschland-Stack and will help ensure sovereign and interoperable communications between Germany’s government agencies and the citizens and companies they serve.

Germany’s ZaPuK (Zielarchitektur Postfach- und Kommunikationslösungen) initiative, led by FITKO, Saxony-Anhalt and the Free Hanseatic City of Hamburg, creates a consistent technical architecture for mailbox and communications components. The ZaPuK project is Germany's answer to a question that has troubled public administrations for decades; how do citizens, companies, and government agencies communicate with each other reliably and securely without a proliferating ecosystem of incompatible inboxes?

It’s precisely the type of challenge that the decentralised Matrix open standard was designed to address. Matrix obliterates vendor-led self interest because it's an independent open standard. Matrix is decentralised, which separates individual deployments (servers), applications (frontends) and the network. As a result, Matrix-based components and solutions are all interoperable.

Matrix is now part of a defined component of the Deutschland-Stack, with transition planning underway and operational deployment targeted for 2028. Over time various Matrix-based solutions will replace a patchwork of incompatible mailbox solutions including, as reported in Heise, De-Mail, Mein Justizpostfach, Zentrales Bürgerpostfach, Elster-Postfach and EGVP.

These types of portals and apps typically enable citizens and companies to interact with state-level government and government agencies to arrange everyday requirements from planning permissions to parking permits.

Matrix is built for decentralised, interoperable communications

As Matrix is an open standard, it is not a product or platform owned by any single vendor. Anyone can implement it. Each institution retains full control of its own infrastructure and data. This is critical as it enables each Länder and government agency to run its own server and integrate the Matrix standard in their own IT systems (“Fachverfahren"), remain digitally sovereign and be able to federate with any other Matrix-based deployment. Servers from different organisations can federate, meaning they exchange messages securely without routing data through a central third party.

In short, Matrix offers the opposite of a vendor-locked solution that would require all the Länder and government agencies to trust a shared commercial platform - a model that’s unworkable at scale and leaves too much of the public sector reliant on a single commercial vendor.

By adopting Matrix as the digital commons for ZaPuK, Germany’s federal government and 16 states will operate from an open standard that supports a competitive ecosystem of providers to drive innovation and efficiency based on interoperable open source software. Indeed, Germany’s public sector organisations can even build their own solutions purely from FOSS components.

Next steps

The IT Planning Council has requested the Federal Ministry for Digital Transformation and Government Modernisation and FITKO to concentrate their shared architecture management resources on shaping the D-Stack and supporting its deployment. Key architectural deliverables are due to be presented in November. These include a capability map for the platform core and specifications for the D-architecture's functional components, with particular attention to D-Stack products and projects, notably ZaPuK (Zielarchitektur Postfach- und Kommunikationslösungen) and ZBDS (Zentraler Bezahldienst Deutschland-Stack).

Running in parallel with the ZaPuK architecture work, FITKO and the Federal Ministry for Digital Transformation and Government Modernisation (BMDS) are jointly delivering a live pilot project known as Neo. Its official title is "Piloting a Matrix-based Communication Infrastructure for G2C Communication". The project provides necessary technology to extend BundID to become the first concrete implementation of the ZaPuK target architecture.

FITKO ran a formal procurement process, concluding in June 2025, awarding a contract to a consortium of adesso, Nordeck and Element. The project encompasses three Matrix-enabled key deliverables: an extension of the BundID web interface; a smartphone app for private individuals to communicate with public authorities on matters related to OZG online services; and tooling to allow authorities to connect their specialist systems (Fachanwendung) to the new infrastructure. All outputs are being developed as open, reusable solutions available to the wider public sector as a foundation for evolving existing infrastructure.

The Neo app is a tangible, working proof-of-concept for ZaPuK, demonstrating that the Matrix protocol can underpin a unified, end-to-end encrypted, real time communication layer between the German state and its citizens.

Matrix and MLS

ZaPuK's specification of MLS (Messaging Layer Security) as its end-to-end encryption layer also represents a significant moment for the Matrix protocol itself. MLS is an encryption standard defined by the IETF - the standards body responsible for much of the foundational infrastructure of the internet. It provides a standard way for users of a messaging service to communicate securely, without servers being able to eavesdrop on their conversations.

The Matrix.org Foundation was part of the initial working group who pledged support for MLS at IETF 101 back in 2018, and has been investigating ways of integrating Matrix and MLS since 2020. The challenge is that MLS assumes a centralised model where participation is mediated by a single MLS delivery server, whereas Matrix assumes a decentralised model where Matrix servers manage participation without a single point of control. Recently, significant progress has been made in decentralising MLS and using it to manage participation, while using Matrix for decentralised access control and conversation replication. ZaPuK’s adoption of MLS should further drive this work forwards.

For a deeper dive on MLS integrating into the decentralised world of Matrix, see Matthew Hodgson’s recent Matrix Live recording.

A successful precedent: TI-Messenger

Germany's healthcare regulator gematik, majority-owned by the Federal Ministry of Health, mandated Matrix as the foundation for TI-Messenger (TI-M), the official secure communications standard for the German healthcare system.

TI-Messenger will connect more than 150,000 healthcare organisations and 74 million patients. In July 2025, it became available to citizens covered by statutory health insurance, integrated directly into their electronic patient record apps. Over time it will replace phone calls, faxes, and disconnected portals that currently mediate so much of Germany's clinical communication.

Like ZaPuK, TI-Messenger is built on the principle that sovereignty and interoperability are not in tension. Each healthcare provider can operate its own Matrix server. Gematik certifies compliance with the standard but does not control the infrastructure. The result is a private, federated network: interoperable by design, sovereign by architecture.

With FITKO’s ZaPuK confirmed as a part of D-Stack, there are now two standards setting bodies - one responsible for healthcare infrastructure, one for cross-government digital services - that have evaluated interoperable communications use across a broad ecosystem and both have reached the same conclusion. That is: open standards, federated architecture, and data sovereignty are not aspirational principles; they are practical requirements, and Matrix is the best way to meet them.

Element recognised as a Digital Public Good

Element recognised as a Digital Public Good

June 17, 2026

Element

We're pleased that Element has been recognised as a Digital Public Good by the Digital Public Goods Alliance (DPGA), a multi-stakeholder initiative endorsed by the United Nations.

To qualify as a Digital Public Good (DPG) a solution must meet a rigorous set of criteria. In particular open licensing, clear ownership, platform independence, strong documentation, privacy compliance and adherence to open standards.

The DPGA promotes the discovery, development and use of open source software, data and content to advance the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Joining the registry puts Element alongside projects like Wikipedia and Wikidata, and we think that says something important about what our digitally sovereign communications infrastructure has become.

The DPGA reviews each submission against nine separate indicators. For communications platforms, the key question is whether a solution genuinely enables the organisations using it to own and control their infrastructure. Element (and the Matrix open protocol) was built to support exactly that ambition.

Sustainable Development Goals

Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are the United Nation's framework for global development. It covers everything from health and education to climate and economic growth. Of most relevance to Element is SDG 9: Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure, and specifically:

Target 9.1 focuses on resilient infrastructure. Element enables end-user organisations to build communications infrastructure they own and control. Unlike centralised and proprietary platforms, the Matrix decentralised infrastructure that Element is built on means communications can continue even during outages, jurisdictional restrictions or vendor disruptions.

Target 9.5 addresses research and technological innovation. Matrix is an open standard that any organisation can build on, contribute to and extend. By building on and actively contributing to Matrix, Element is investing in a shared communications commons that any government, institution or developer can use.

Target 9.b concerns domestic technology development. Vendor lock-in is a sovereignty risk. Governments that depend on closed, proprietary platforms are one contract renegotiation - or one geopolitical decision - away from losing access to their own communications. Element gives organisations the ability to deploy, modify and extend their communications infrastructure without dependency on any single vendor. And by supporting Matrix, Element encourages a competitive ecosystem of vendors that helps boost domestic technical capability and supports genuine digital independence.

Open source, open standard, open governance

Matrix is a decentralised open standard for sovereign, interoperable and secure communications.

Element plays a key role in developing and sustaining Matrix, having contributed to more than 90% of Synapse (the core Matrix homeserver), the Rust SDK and a substantial proportion of the wider Matrix client ecosystem. While the DPGA doesn't certify open standards or protocols directly, this recognition clearly reflects the broader Matrix ecosystem and its contribution to digital public infrastructure. Element Web, Element X iOS and Android, Synapse and Element Server Suite (our free server-side community distribution) form the basis of the DPGA recognition.

Element Pro and Element Server Suite Pro build on this foundation, providing the additional capabilities that large-scale government deployments require - and crucially, helps Element, as an upstream vendor, fund the continued development of Matrix itself.

European governments are leading the way

European governments and public institutions are leading the way on digital sovereignty. For communications in particular, they recognise that critical communications infrastructure should be open, interoperable and under their control - and of course extremely resilient. Element was built to support exactly that ambition.

More than 25 European governments have already deployed Matrix-based communications systems, and the list keeps growing. The European Commission, NATO, UNICC, and public sector organisations across the US, Australia, and beyond are also running Matrix-based sovereign communications infrastructure today.

All these separate Matrix-based deployments, supported by a competitive ecosystem of vendors and providers, can federate with each other because they embrace the same open standard.

That's the vision this recognition helps articulate to a wider audience. Sovereign communications doesn't mean an on-premise system from a vendor-locked software company. It means communications the end-user organisation controls, with a set of vendors it can choose from, and the ability to connect with other organisations without having to worry about who is using which vendor. Not a patchwork of proprietary silos, but a network of networks.

Supporting the ecosystem, not just using it

We hope this recognition encourages more governments to actively support and invest in the technology they depend on, either by working with Element or by supporting The Matrix.org Foundation. Recognising Element as a digital public good is meaningful, but recognition alone doesn't sustain open source software. The open source project doesn't maintain itself; it relies on funding, active contribution and collaboration.

A government that builds on open source software without investing back into it is, over time, sawing off the branch it's sitting on.

Working with commercial upstream vendors is not at odds with digital sovereignty. It is precisely what sustains it. ZenDiS’ openDesk in Germany, Sweden's SAFOS initiative, the European Commission's own Element deployment, and many others have shown what responsible adoption looks like in practice: embracing open standards while supporting the vendors and communities that keep those standards alive.

As one of our European government customers put it: "It's not about FOSS vs paying for subscriptions. It's not buy vs build. It should be a hybrid approach that works for all parties." That balance, open standards with professional products and support, is exactly what Element is designed to provide.

We're grateful to the DPGA for the thorough review process, and to the many governments and public sector organisations whose real-world deployments made the case for Element's global reach and relevance. This recognition is a signal to procurement teams, governments and development organisations everywhere; open, sovereign, federated communications infrastructure is not a niche concern. It's a public good.

CompuGroup Medical (CGM) and Element partner to transform healthcare communications

Steve Loynes — Wed, 10 Jun 2026 08:10:11 GMT

Healthcare has always had its share of chronic conditions, but not all of them are clinical.

For years healthcare communications have been trapped in paper-based systems, slow email chains and endless telephone tag. More worrying still, the creeping adoption of consumer-grade chat apps is now putting private patient data directly into Big Tech's hands - whose entire business models depend on harvesting it.

Now there’s a prescription for change.

CompuGroup Medical (CGM) – one of the world’s leading e-health companies – and Element are partnering to transform how healthcare professionals exchange information securely in real time.

Healthcare organisations need to exchange information quickly and securely, while maintaining strict control over sensitive patient data. Traditional centralised messaging platforms don’t match those requirements. They create vendor lock-in, fragment communication across organisational boundaries, and leave healthcare bodies dependent on a single commercial provider for infrastructure they can't fully inspect or control. That challenge is only growing as governments and public sector organisations across Europe place increasing weight on digital sovereignty.

By combining CGM’s deep medical sector expertise with Element’s communications technology, we’re building tailored tools that provide sovereign, interoperable and secure communications for healthcare.

Supporting CGM’s healthcare messaging platforms

CGM has developed two powerful messaging solutions, CGM TI-Messenger and the CGM Messenger, both built on the Matrix open standard.

CGM TI-Messenger: The recently launched CGM TI-Messenger, certified by gematik (Germany’s national digital health agency), enables Germany’s healthcare professionals and organisations to exchange information securely and in real time as an alternative to email and phone-based workflows.

The TI-Messenger initiative is transforming German healthcare’s traditional systems, and puts patient privacy first. It serves as a powerful real-world blueprint for interoperable, sovereign communications by creating a massive nationwide private federation that will connect more than 150,000 separate healthcare organisations.

CGM Messenger: CGM Messenger (built on Matrix, rather than Germany’s Matrix-based TI-Messenger standard) brings the same standard of secure, real time collaboration for use outside of Germany’s TI-Messenger infrastructure.

Designed for global adaptability, it connects disparate healthcare teams, clinics, and administrative staff by embedding sovereign and end-to-end encrypted messaging directly into existing healthcare IT systems. CGM and Element are establishing a new global benchmark for safe, efficient, and interconnected digital health ecosystems.

Matrix is a game changer for healthcare

The Matrix open standard provides fundamental benefits for healthcare communications:

Digital sovereignty: Every healthcare organisation retains total ownership and control of its own data.
Seamless interoperability: Separate hospitals, clinics, and labs can connect and talk to each other instantly, even if they use Matrix-based products from different vendors - making Matrix the ideal way to connect thousands of separate organisations.
Competitive ecosystem: Because the standard is completely open, it supports a competitive ecosystem of vendors, which naturally drives freedom of choice and rapid industry innovation.
Powerful security: End-to-end encryption and layered security protections ensure sensitive patient data stays confidential.
Beyond chat: Matrix-based communication can be embedded directly into software, medical machinery and the Internet of Things (IoT) to transmit patient data instantly and securely.

As Jens-Uwe Thieme, General Manager Patient Portal & Platform Components at CGM, puts it:

“

"The Matrix open standard is incredibly well-suited to healthcare. Each healthcare organisation has full control over its communications data, yet separate healthcare organisations can exchange information quickly and easily."

Powered by Element Server Suite Pro

This partnership is powered by Element Server Suite Pro (ESS Pro), our enterprise-grade Matrix infrastructure platform.

Healthcare organisations need communication systems that are not only secure, but also scalable, resilient, and maintainable over the long term. ESS Pro is designed to meet those requirements while supporting the evolving standards around Matrix and TI-Messenger compliance.

ESS Pro supports both single-tenant and multi-tenant deployments, including configurations specifically designed for TI-Messenger environments. Its multi-tenant architecture for TI-Messenger was recently security validated by gematik.

It also provides enterprise capabilities, including:

Long-term support aligned with Matrix and TI-Messenger standards
Identity and access management
Advanced administration and auditing tools
Security notifications
Auto-scaling infrastructure to handle changing traffic demands
Multi-tenant ‘small hosts’ capability

For us, this partnership reflects a broader shift happening across healthcare and the public sector.

Organisations increasingly want a communication infrastructure that is open, sovereign, interoperable, and secure by design - without compromising usability for healthcare professionals.

We believe Matrix is uniquely positioned to support that future, and CGM is exactly the kind of partner to help us build it.
