For a seamless experience between phones and Windows, earlier Microsoft launched a companion app called Microsoft Link. The app is great and offers a wide range of functionality, like reading and writing messages on behalf of your phone directly from your PC, accessing photos, and receiving notifications on your phone. Meanwhile, Microsoft Link is the best solution that developers intended for a better user experience. However the only downside to Microsoft Link is limited data sharing.
On the Microsoft link, you can share only photos which seems disappointing to many users. But today we have new support called the Intel Unison App, a companion app developed by Intel. Here, you can do all the things that your typical Microsoft Link does. In addition to that, you can transfer any type of data, and of course, some more features are loaded. For this thing, people want to know about it. So, here we will let you know the complete thing about Intel Unison.
Install and use the Intel Unison App to sync iPhone and Android with Windows 11.
Starting with a basic introduction, Intel Unison is a companion app that lets you manage your phone activity from your PC itself. No matter whether you have an iPhone or Android, you can use this app on any platform. The special thing about this app is its developing company and its features. In the past years of serving, we have learned how Intel builds trust with users, so from that perspective, there is a ritual to try once the Unison app is released.
Many of you are thinking about why you should try the Unison app, even if your needs are fulfilled. If you remember, the Microsoft link has a few limitations, and it may be possible for those limitations to be resolved by Unison. According to the official statement, Intel Unison has better compatibility, more areas to transfer data, an advanced function to customize notification syncing, and more streamlined file management. I know that after all of this, especially the data transfer, you might wonder how to install it. So, here are the steps to install it.
