Intel Unison was a software functionality created by Intel for seamless integration between a personal computer and mobile device.[1]
Unison was announced in September 2022 and launched broadly throughout 2023 12th generation Core processors, although some Intel Evo compliant computers had a preview version of it already.[1] The feature allowed an Android or iOS device to pair with an Intel-powered PC, and be able to make and receive calls via the PC, send and receive texts, and receive and respond to notifications.[2]
Intel also said that Unison would turn into a platform for any developer to take advantage of.[3] Unison has been compared to a number of software such as Microsoft's Phone Link,[1] Samsung Flow, KDE Connect,[4] and Dell's Mobile Connect.[5]
As of March 2025, Intel announced it would shut down the service in June of the same year.[6] It was shut down on June 3, 2025.[4][7]
