About This Feature
Overview
Insert Icon in WPS on iOS helps you add presentation icons on iPhone or iPad slides for flow diagrams, data callouts, and visual emphasis. This WPS Office feature lets you browse icon categories, insert an icon into the current slide, and then move or resize it as needed.
Core tasks include:
- Insert an icon: Browse the icon library and place the selected icon on the current slide.
- Adjust icon position and size: Select the inserted icon, drag it to a new position, and resize it with control handles.
This is useful for process slides, data explanation pages, and highlight sections. It helps reduce manual shape drawing and makes slide content easier to scan.

Overall Conclusion
If you mainly edit slides on iPhone or iPad, WPS offers a mobile-friendly way to insert icons and finish basic layout adjustments quickly. If you need broader icon styling, add-on ecosystems, or design-first asset creation, the other products are more focused on those workflows.
