About This Feature
Overview
Full Screen is a viewing feature in WPS Office for iOS spreadsheets. It is designed to reduce interface distractions when you read, present, or review large tables.
Core tasks include:
- Enter Full Screen: Open full-screen reading from Tools under the View tab.
- Exit Full Screen: Return to the standard view from full-screen mode.
- Work in Full Screen: Continue zooming, scrolling, selecting cells, and opening the toolbar when needed.
This feature is useful for meeting presentations, reviewing wide tables, and focusing on data on a smaller screen. It changes only the on-screen display and does not change document content or print output.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | In WPS spreadsheets on iOS, you can open full-screen reading from Tools → View → Full Screen Reading to hide interface elements, enlarge the spreadsheet area, and continue zooming, scrolling, and selecting cells. | Microsoft Word documentation states that a window can switch to full-screen view, but the public page focuses on document window view control rather than a touch-first spreadsheet reading flow on iOS. | Google Docs provides pageless mode for continuous writing and scrolling without page breaks, which is closer to a document layout mode than a dedicated spreadsheet full-screen reading entry. | Notion provides a Full width page option to widen the content area, but it is a page layout setting rather than a dedicated full-screen mode for spreadsheet files. | Adobe Acrobat provides Read mode and Full Screen mode to hide toolbars and window controls for focused reading and presentation. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: The entry path is clear in the iOS spreadsheet interface, and entering or leaving full screen takes only a few taps. Distinct: You can still zoom, scroll, select cells, and reopen tools while staying in full-screen view. | Compared with WPS: the official page confirms full-screen view, but it does not show the same iOS spreadsheet touch workflow described for WPS. | Compared with WPS: pageless mode is more suitable for continuous document drafting and collaboration than spreadsheet-focused full-screen viewing. | Compared with WPS: Full width mainly changes page width and does not provide the same interface-hiding reading view. | Compared with WPS: Acrobat full-screen features are centered on PDF reading and presentation, while WPS is closer to mobile spreadsheet viewing and cell interaction. |

Overall Conclusion: If your main goal is viewing and presenting spreadsheets on iOS, WPS Full Screen is more aligned with a mobile touch workflow. The other products also provide ways to expand reading space, but they focus more on document layout, page width, or PDF viewing.
