About This Feature
Overview
Display Scale is a spreadsheet viewing feature in WPS Office for iOS collaboration mode. It lets you zoom the current sheet view with two-finger gestures so you can switch between an overall layout view and a closer editing view more easily.
Core capabilities include:
- Pinch to zoom out: pinch inward in the spreadsheet editing area to reduce the current display scale and view more rows and columns at once.
- Spread to zoom in: move two fingers apart in the spreadsheet editing area to enlarge the current display scale for closer cell review.
- On-screen scale feedback: while adjusting the view, the current percentage appears in the center of the screen, with a supported range from 30% to 400%.
This feature is useful when you need to review a large sheet structure, inspect dense cell content, or edit details more precisely on iPhone or iPad.

| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | In spreadsheet collaboration mode on iOS, you can zoom directly in the editing area with two-finger gestures, and the current percentage appears on screen from 30% to 400%. | Word for iPhone supports file viewing with a saved zoom level, and Microsoft lists a zoom level when files open, but the official page does not describe the same spreadsheet collaboration gesture range. | Google Docs Editors on iPhone and iPad support pinch open to zoom in and pinch closed to zoom out. | Notion for mobile explains mobile access and mobile-versus-desktop differences, but the official page does not describe a comparable spreadsheet view zoom feature. | Acrobat supports page magnification, zoom in, zoom out, and preset magnification controls for PDF viewing. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS provides direct gesture-based zoom inside the spreadsheet editing area and shows a clear 30%–400% scale indicator during adjustment. | Compared with WPS: Microsoft confirms zoom-related viewing behavior on iPhone, including saved zoom level, but the official page does not provide the same in-sheet gesture and percentage-range detail. | Compared with WPS: Google also supports pinch gestures on iOS, but the official help page does not show the same explicit percentage feedback range. | Compared with WPS: Notion mobile focuses on page access and mobile layout differences rather than spreadsheet-style zoom controls. | Compared with WPS: Adobe zoom tools are designed for PDF page viewing rather than spreadsheet collaboration editing. |

Overall Conclusion
If you mainly review and edit spreadsheets on iPhone or iPad, WPS Display Scale is well suited to touch-based spreadsheet work because it combines direct gestures with visible scale feedback. Other products also provide zoom or view controls, but their official guidance focuses on different content types such as documents, mobile pages, or PDFs.
