Intel Unison, a versatile and free application designed to connect Android devices to Windows PCs, is set to be discontinued on June 30, 2025. Recently, users received notifications regarding the impending shutdown through the Windows app, and updates have been made on its listings in the Microsoft Store, Google Play Store, and Apple App Store. Once the services wind down, the features of Intel Unison will no longer be available.
The app has offered numerous useful features that facilitate seamless interaction between Android devices and Windows computers. Among its capabilities, users could utilize their Android tablet as an external display and manage calls and texts directly from their Windows PCs. Additionally, the drag-and-drop functionality for files and photos between devices was a notable perk.
Although similar functionalities exist with Microsoft Phone Link, many users found Intel Unison to provide a richer and more comprehensive experience. Despite the announcement of the shutdown, Intel Unison was praised for its efficiency and ease of use on Windows 11 machines, specifically those running version 22H2 or later. Though the recommended specifications suggest using a 12th-generation Intel Core i5 processor, the software is compatible with non-Intel devices as well.
In light of Intel Unison’s discontinuation, users seeking to connect their Android phones to Windows PCs will need to transition to Microsoft Phone Link. While the shift may be necessary, it highlights the ongoing evolution of connectivity solutions across platforms. As HP has stated, commitment to providing users with innovative tools to stay productive remains steadfast amid these changes.
