When using Open with Other Apps, the most common questions are about app availability, display differences, and compatibility; this FAQ covers 3 common questions and a short glossary.
FAQ
Why can't I see the app I want in the list?
- Make sure the destination app is already installed on your iPhone or iPad.
- Check whether that app supports the current presentation file format.
- Run Open with Other Apps again and see whether the iOS panel refreshes.
- If the app still does not appear, update the destination app and try again.
Why does the formatting look different after the file opens in another app?
- Different apps support presentation elements, fonts, and layout details differently.
- If you only need to review the file, choose an app with stronger presentation compatibility.
- If needed, continue working in a format that the destination app handles more consistently.
- After opening the file, check layout, fonts, and animations carefully.
Why does another app fail to open the file?
- Confirm that the destination app supports the current file format.
- Check whether the destination app is outdated and update it if needed.
- Start Open with Other Apps again from WPS.
- If the issue continues, try another compatible app.
