| Capability Summary | In document viewing on iOS, WPS lets you switch the display between landscape and portrait through Tools → View → Rotate Screen, which helps when reading wide content. | Word for iPhone and iPad lets users change document orientation to Portrait or Landscape while working on a document, and Microsoft notes that not all orientation features are available on all devices. | Google Docs on iPhone and iPad lets users change page orientation in page settings, mainly for document layout and print preview. | Notion for mobile lets users read, edit, and comment on content on iOS, but its mobile help page does not describe a document orientation switch like Rotate Screen. | Acrobat on iOS lets users rotate selected PDF pages in Organize pages with Rotate left or Rotate right. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: The control is placed directly in the viewing path for quick display switching. Distinct: It is available without membership for this feature. | Compared with WPS: Microsoft focuses on document page orientation settings, and its support page notes device-specific limits for some orientation features. | Compared with WPS: Google focuses more on page setup and print layout than on a dedicated viewing-direction switch. | Compared with WPS: Notion mobile is centered on reading, editing, and commenting, and the official page does not describe a matching screen-rotation entry for document viewing. | Compared with WPS: Adobe focuses on rotating PDF pages during page organization, and Adobe states that this feature requires a subscription. |

Overall Conclusion
WPS Rotate Screen is well suited to quick viewing changes on iOS when you want a wider reading layout without leaving the document view flow. Other products provide related orientation features, but they are often tied to page setup, mobile content browsing, or PDF page organization rather than a direct viewing switch.
