The world around us is changing at a pace previously unheard of, and the need for a secure communication tool is just one of its by-products, among other things. + +One such tool that helps in leveraging Matrix, is Fractal. It is one of the [best Matrix clients for decentralized messaging][2]. + +With a recent announcement, **Fractal 5** is here with a major overhaul 🎉 + +So, let's take a brief look at it. + +## 🆕 Fractal 5: What's New? + +![][3] + +Being **a complete rewrite** compared to the previous release, Fractal 5 now makes use of [GTK 4][4], [libadwaita][5], and the [Matrix Rust SDK][6] for providing a modern looking interface that just feels at home. + +Fractal now **scales properly on all kinds of screens** , be it small or large; users of the previous releases should find it familiar without much of a learning curve. + +Moreover, it is now possible to **reply to specific messages** , **react to messages** with emoji, and even **edit/remove messages** while chatting on Fractal. + +![][7] + +You can also **send your current location** to any of your chats, just ensure that your system supports 'Location Services', and is enabled. + +![][8] + +Viewing images and playing audio or video is now more intuitive, you can directly view/play those from the chat window itself. + +![][9] + +And lastly, Fractal now has **support for logging into multiple accounts** , with additional support for [Single-Sign On][10] (SSO). This will make it effortless to handle multiple accounts on the same client instance. + +![][11] + +**For its future releases** , the developers have planned to add some neat features such as room settings, better moderation tools, and notification settings. They also want to improve the accessibility side of things. + +You may go through the [release notes][12] to learn all the technical details. + +I am glad to see that Fractal is being actively developed, and if you ask me, this release brings it more on par with the under development [ElementX][13], a successor to the Element messaging app. + +**Suggested Read** 📖 + +![][14] + +I am excited about a time when Matrix is not just a niche thing used by a few, but the norm suggested by many. + +## 📥 Download Fractal 5 + +You can head over to the [Flathub store][15] to grab the latest release of Fractal. If you're interested in the source code, you can refer to its [GitLab repo][16]. + +[Fractal 5 (Flathub)][15] + +_💬 Do you use Fractal? Prefer other Matrix clients?
