About This Feature
Overview
Open with Other Apps is a sharing feature in WPS Office for iOS presentations. It lets you hand the current file off to another compatible app installed on your iPhone or iPad. Whether you start from an open presentation or from the file list on the WPS home page, you can bring up the iOS app selection panel and continue working in another app.
Core capabilities include:
- Open the current presentation in another compatible app directly from the presentation view.
- Open a selected presentation in another compatible app from the WPS home file list.
- Use the iOS share panel to choose a compatible app for viewing, submitting, or continuing file handling.
This feature is useful for assignment submission, cross-app preview, sending a file to a browser or cloud app, or opening a presentation in a dedicated viewer.
System Requirements
| Item | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Operating system | An iPhone or iPad that can run iOS or iPadOS normally |

| Capability Summary | WPS lets you open the current presentation in another app from the in-file More menu or from the More menu in the home file list, then choose a compatible app from the iOS panel. | Microsoft official materials focus more on opening Office files from Mail, OneDrive, or the system environment, and on working within the Microsoft 365 workflow. A clear iOS help article for sending the current Office file directly to another app is not prominent in the official help flow reviewed here. | Google official guidance on iPhone and iPad focuses on sharing files from Google Drive and controlling viewer, commenter, or editor access. The workflow is centered on cloud sharing and collaboration rather than directly handing the current presentation file to another app. | Notion officially supports exporting content on mobile and then using the device share menu. That flow is based on exporting page content, not directly passing the original presentation file to another app. | Adobe Acrobat officially explains how to open files in Acrobat from the iOS Files app, email, or a browser through Open with or Share. Its documented flow is centered on PDF handling. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: the entry is available both inside the current presentation and from the home file list. Distinct: this feature is available without membership for quick handoff to another compatible app. | Compared with WPS: the official materials reviewed place more emphasis on opening files into Microsoft apps and Microsoft-managed workflows than on a direct current-file handoff from the app to another app. | Compared with WPS: Google's official iOS flow is more collaboration-oriented, with sharing permissions and Drive-based access as the main path. | Compared with WPS: Notion is better aligned with exporting page content first, so direct presentation-file handoff is not its main mobile workflow. | Compared with WPS: Adobe provides clearer official guidance for PDF open-in flows, but the documented scenario is mainly PDF-specific rather than presentation-focused. |

Overall Conclusion: If you want a short iOS workflow for sending a presentation from WPS to another compatible app, WPS provides a direct entry from both the current file view and the home file list. Other products also support file access or sharing, but their official guidance is more focused on Microsoft app workflows, cloud collaboration, exported content, or PDF-specific handling.
