Intel Unison is 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 allows 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]

As of March 2025, Intel announced it would shut down the service in June of the same year. [3]

Intel also said that Unison would turn into a platform for any developer to take advantage of. [4] Unison has been compared to a number of software such as Microsoft's Phone Link, [1] Samsung Flow, and Dell's Mobile Connect. [5]
