At the Intel Innovation 2022 event, the chipmaker announced an app that aims to fix the major fragmentation between computers and phones. Called Intel Unison, the app has several smart features to make mobile connectivity to computers a seamless experience. The distinctive part about Intel Unison is that it will not only work with Android phones but can also provide core functionality to your iPhone.
This Windows app solves a BIG problem!
With Intel Unison, you can make calls and also receive them on your PC. You can send and receive text messages, receive notifications and even reply to some of them and transfer files between your computer and phone. These are the four key features of the Intel Unison app.
The difference between Intel's solution and say Microsoft's Phone Link or Dell's Screenovate is that Unison will also work with iPhones. Some of the advanced features like multi-party messaging and message replies for third-party apps will not be available for iPhone users, but the key features will remain the same on both iPhones and Android phones.
That aside, even when the app is closed, you'll still get phone notifications via the Windows notification center on your PC so that's nice. The company also says Unison has been deeply optimized with Intel hardware to offer maximum battery life, something third-party mobile solutions couldn't do.
