A screenshot keeps the words and loses the conversation
A screenshot shows what an AI answered. It cannot carry the context that produced the answer. The person receiving it cannot ask a useful follow-up in the same thread, look at what was said earlier, or add information in their own words.
That turns you into a messenger. You ask the AI, copy the response, collect the other person's reaction, paste it back, and repeat. It is slow, and the shared understanding gets thinner at every step. Worse, you are quietly deciding which parts of the conversation the other person gets to see.
Send the thread instead
In Unium you send a link, not a picture. They join in one tap, on iPhone or on the web, read the history, see which model answered, and continue from the same context. The AI knows there are now two of you in there and answers both of you.
Chats you start are shared with the people on your account by default, so most of the time there is nothing to do at all: the conversation is already somewhere they can open it.
Where the difference shows
Live shared context helps when:
- Your partner needs to add their own preferences to a plan you started.
- A family member wants to ask a follow-up without a fresh explanation.
- A friend is helping you decide and needs to see the reasoning, not the verdict.
- Two people want the AI to lay out what they agree and disagree about.
On a paid plan the same thread can switch between Claude, GPT, Gemini, and other models, so a second opinion does not mean rebuilding the conversation somewhere else.
Sharing a chat is not sharing everything
One link shares one conversation, not your account. And anything that should stay yours can: long press a chat, make it private, and nothing from it is shared back.
There is no seat to buy for the other person either. One subscription covers everyone on the account, from $10 a month, so a link costs nothing to send. See what each plan includes.
