About This Feature
Overview
Full Screen is a viewing feature in WPS Office for Android spreadsheets. It hides the toolbar and status bar while keeping the content area as large as possible for viewing or presenting spreadsheet data.
Core tasks include:
- Enter Full Screen: Open full-screen reading from Tools under View.
- Exit Full Screen: Leave full-screen view from the upper-right corner and return to the standard view.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | On Android spreadsheets, WPS can enter Full Screen reading, hide interface bars, and keep basic actions such as zooming, scrolling, and selecting cells available. | Word offers Read Mode to hide writing tools and menus for more reading space, but some editing features require switching back to Edit mode. | Google Docs offers pageless mode for continuous scrolling and reduced page breaks, which is useful for long documents and collaboration, but it is not a dedicated full-screen spreadsheet view. | Notion supports Full width to widen the content area, and its mobile editing tools appear above the keyboard, but this is mainly a page layout setting rather than a spreadsheet-focused full-screen view. | Acrobat provides Read mode and Full Screen mode to hide menus, toolbars, and window controls for document reading and presentations. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: The entry is directly available in the Android spreadsheet viewing path. Distinct: After entering Full Screen, you can still zoom, scroll, select cells, and continue editing. | Compared with WPS: Word Read Mode is more focused on document reading, and some editing actions require leaving the reading view. | Compared with WPS: Google Docs focuses more on continuous writing and collaboration than on a spreadsheet-specific full-screen viewing entry. | Compared with WPS: Notion Full width mainly expands page layout and does not target toolbar hiding for spreadsheet reading. | Compared with WPS: Acrobat Full Screen is designed for PDF reading and presentation rather than spreadsheet cell interaction. |
