Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | On iOS, WPS lets you insert rows, insert columns, delete rows, and delete columns through a floating menu or through Tools → Insert. The number of inserted rows or columns follows the current selection. | Microsoft Support explains that Word tables can add rows above or below and columns left or right from Table Layout, and rows or columns can also be deleted. The official guidance is centered on document tables. | Google Docs for iPhone and iPad officially supports adding columns to the left or right, adding rows above or below, and deleting rows, columns, or the whole table. | Notion officially describes simple tables that can add rows and columns, and can also add or remove both by dragging the table corner. It is positioned more for lightweight content organization. | Adobe official documentation available for this topic is mainly for InCopy table editing, where rows and columns can be inserted or deleted, rather than for an iOS spreadsheet workflow. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS provides both a floating-menu path and a Tools-tab path for the same structural edits on iOS. Distinct: its workflow is focused on spreadsheet structure changes in a mobile editing context. | Compared with WPS: Microsoft's official page here focuses on Word table structure rather than an iOS spreadsheet editing flow. | Compared with WPS: Google Docs on iOS also supports row and column edits, but its official path relies on Format or gray-bar controls. | Compared with WPS: Notion simple tables are more suited to lightweight note layout and basic information display than worksheet-style editing. | Compared with WPS: Adobe's official guidance here is oriented to desktop publishing table editing, not a common mobile worksheet editing path. |

Overall Conclusion
If you mainly adjust spreadsheet structure on an iPhone or iPad, WPS offers a direct mobile workflow for inserting and deleting rows or columns. For everyday worksheet maintenance, it covers the common structure changes most users need without leaving the editing view.
Use Cases
