Element works best when you use the app. You can download it for every device for free, straigth from your favorite App store. We added shortcuts to the downloads on this page.

If you have managed to install the app on your device, follow the steps below to get started safely and quickly. The screenshots were taken from an android device, but you will have to follow the same steps on other devices (even if some screens look a little bit different).
