The biggest chipmaker introduced an app at the Intel Innovation 2022 event, that aims to fix the wide fragmentation between PCs and phones, called Intel Unison. Intel Unison comes with several smart features to make mobile connectivity with PCs easy. Intel makes this app not only work with Android phones but can also bring core features to your iPhone. The core feature of Intel Unison is to transfer files between your PC and phone. Also, you can make calls and also receive them on your PC, you can send and receive text messages, receive notifications, and reply to some app notifications. These are the four features of Unison, all four features work well with Android phones, but for iPhones, some advanced features like multi-party messaging and notification replies for third-party apps won’t work. The main difference between Unison and Microsoft’s Phone Link or Dell Screenovate is that Unison will also work with iPhones.
Apart from that, Unison works even when the app is closed, it will run in the background, you can see the Unison icon in the system tray, and you’ll receive Phone notifications even when the app is closed. You’ll receive a notification from the Windows Notification center, also the company promises that unison has been optimized with Intel’s hardware to offer maximum battery life. This feature is unique when compared to other third-party mobile connectivity software.
