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]

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, and Dell's Mobile Connect.[4]
