Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | On iOS, you can tap a worksheet tab, open the floating toolbar, choose Rename, enter a new name, and confirm it. | Excel supports renaming a worksheet by double-clicking the sheet tab, right-clicking and choosing Rename, or using a keyboard shortcut, and it also lists naming limits. | Google Sheets on mobile lets you open the sheet tab menu, tap Rename, enter a new name, and tap OK. | Notion does not use traditional worksheet tabs. Its related capability is renaming a database view from the view name menu. | Adobe Acrobat focuses on PDF page organization and page numbering rather than spreadsheet worksheet tab renaming. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: the rename entry is directly tied to worksheet tab actions on iOS, which fits touch-based editing well. Distinct: this feature is available without membership and has no stated version limit. | Compared with WPS: Microsoft documents more desktop rename methods and naming rules, but the official page is centered on Excel worksheet behavior rather than a mobile-first tab flow. | Compared with WPS: Google also supports mobile sheet renaming from the sheet tab menu, and its official page groups rename with other sheet actions such as hide, duplicate, and move. | Compared with WPS: Notion can rename a database view, but the object is a view instead of a worksheet tab, so the use case is different from spreadsheet tab management. | Compared with WPS: Adobe's official capability here is page organization in PDFs, so it does not provide a direct worksheet-tab equivalent. |

Overall Conclusion
If you mainly edit spreadsheets on iPhone or iPad and want a direct way to rename worksheet tabs, WPS provides a simple mobile-oriented path. Microsoft and Google offer comparable rename capabilities, while Notion and Adobe focus on different content structures rather than spreadsheet worksheet tabs.
