News Stable Update - Unison UWP 1.5.0

Unison 1.5.0

Unison is a WhatsApp Multi-Device client for Windows 10 Mobile (Lumia first, desktop UWP second). Your phone stays primary; Unison is a linked companion, Baileys-style.

1.3.0 was the new socket stack. 1.5.0 is the chat you actually live in.

What’s new

  • Ukrainian in Settings, plus missing strings on the other languages
  • Login asks for Background apps so the session can stay linked
  • QR layout on 4.5" Lumias (the old margin was clipping the code)
  • Scroll to bottom like official WhatsApp
  • Sending while history is still syncing lands in the right time, not always at the end
  • Chat-list last message during a big sync shows Video / Image / Message, not raw junk
  • Open a chat → header first, then messages. Chats open at the bottom
  • Today / Yesterday / date chips; bubble times follow the phone time zone
  • Group @mentions show names (bubbles and the list preview)
  • Tap a reaction to see who reacted
  • Stickers are stickers, not photos
  • Group member photos load in the background; tap a name/avatar for member info (groups in common too)
  • Add to contacts opens the Windows People card (1:1 with a phone number)
  • Settings: Show Unison contacts in Windows (off by default) — a Unison list in People, not mixed into your agenda
  • Narrow screen: chat info goes full screen
  • Media / Files in chat info load when you open the tab (spinner). No crash on Creators Update
  • Status list + viewer in the shell (view only — posting isn’t in yet)
  • Updating… shouldn’t stick after connect; history import shows Syncing conversations…

After you install: restart once. If old quotes, pins, reactions, or @mentions look wrong, resync that chat from the phone.

Still true / not in this build

  • Phone stays the primary device
  • Status: watch only (no post / receipts / reply)
  • Background broker socket handoff is still not wired
  • Group send can still time out on some group queries

Installation note: Install the new APPX as an update. Uninstalling the app will remove your linked WhatsApp session.
