Latest Element X Testflight and nightly both crash for me very consistently when navigating back from two or more levels deep (like from Chats > room > room info and then going back). iOS 26.1 beta (23B5064e). I’ve been blaming it on iOS for now since I can’t go back to not running a beta yet :( Also seems like the notification badge is always = real notifications + 1 which i’ve read happens with Synapse or something but I’ve never found a way to fix it.
Also seems like spoiler messages in Element X appear as just an empty chat bubble that i’ve been meaning to report. And why does sending spoilers on Element require using /spoiler when discord and telegram use `||spoilered text||`?
I really want to love Matrix. I’ve been using it with my girlfriend (on a self hosted Synapse server for us) who barely tolerates it, some other friends who range from also tolerating it to hating it (and having decryption errors a lot with a friend who has several clients they switch between, mostly whenever I send a message from another client like when going from element to nheko). I bridge Telegram, Signal, and IRC to matrix (and probably will add more soon). I’m not sure why I care so much about this chat protocol, but I do for some reason and I really want to see it work.
- Arathorn 1y agoUnfortunately that really does sound like an iOS beta problem - iOS betas are infamously unstable, and effectively used by Apple to hunt crashes that they've introduced when existing apps run. The notification badge issue is this mess: https://github.com/element-hq/element-x-ios/issues/3151 https://github.com/element-hq/element-x-ios/issues/3151 and is almost solved (but not deployed yet). Spoilers is https://github.com/element-hq/element-x-ios/issues/2839 https://github.com/element-hq/element-x-ios/issues/2839 but isn't really on our radar - please can you upvote / comment on it. Thanks for keeping the faith :)
- catgirlinspace 1y agoHoping there’s a new iOS version soon then so I can get off the beta, has been annoying dealing with crashes but at least element x launches really fast. Really glad to hear that notification badges are almost fixed! I left an upvote on the spoilers issue but don’t really have anything to add other than it’s annoying to not have a way of even seeing the contents.
