This is the standard way to use strikethrough in WPS Writer on iPhone or iPad when you need to keep the original wording visible during review.

Success Criteria

  • Visual result: The selected text shows a strikethrough line.
  • What you can do next: You can continue editing, saving, or sharing the document.
  • No side effect: The text remains in the document and is not deleted automatically.

Tips While Using

  • Strikethrough is a formatting mark and does not remove the text itself.
  • The strikethrough color follows the font color and cannot be set separately.
  • If you are reviewing edits with others, you can keep the marked text visible until the final decision is made.
