Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | On iOS, you can select text and use Tools > Home > Strikethrough to add a strikethrough mark for review and revision. | Microsoft Word officially supports applying or removing strikethrough from the Home tab, and also documents double strikethrough. | Google Docs officially supports strikethrough through the toolbar or the Format menu. | Notion officially supports strikethrough through text styling shortcuts and Markdown-style input. | Adobe Acrobat officially focuses on comments and markups for PDF review, rather than a standard word-processing strikethrough workflow inside editable document text. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: the entry path is direct for mobile document editing on iOS. Distinct: strikethrough marks text visually without deleting the original content. | Compared with WPS: Microsoft documentation highlights the Home tab and an additional double-strikethrough option, but this page is not centered on an iOS-specific mobile path. | Compared with WPS: Google Docs documents toolbar and Format menu paths, commonly described in a broader editor interface rather than a WPS-style mobile tool panel. | Compared with WPS: Notion is oriented more toward notes and pages, where strikethrough is often used with shortcuts or Markdown-style input. | Compared with WPS: Acrobat is stronger for PDF review markup workflows, while WPS is closer to standard document text formatting on mobile. |

Overall Conclusion
WPS Strikethrough fits everyday mobile document editing on iOS, especially when you need to mark text for removal without deleting it. Other products also support text marking or review workflows, but their entry points and document focus differ across word processing, note-taking, and PDF review scenarios.
