About This Feature
Overview
Open with Other Apps is a sharing feature for presentations in WPS Office on iOS. It lets you pass the current file to another app on your device that supports the file format.
Core tasks include:
- Starting Open with Other Apps from an already opened presentation when you are working on the current file.
- Starting Open with Other Apps from the file list on the WPS home screen for faster file handoff.
- Opening the iOS app chooser so you can send the file to another presentation app, browser, or viewer.
This feature is useful for cross-app viewing, assignment submission, and sending a file to a designated tool for the next step. It helps reduce repeated file searching and lets you move a presentation from WPS directly into another compatible app.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Lets you start Open with Other Apps from an opened presentation or from the home file list, then shows compatible apps available on the device. | Microsoft official content for iPhone and iPad focuses more on opening shared Office files and viewing them in mobile apps, with less dedicated guidance about handing a local Office file from the app to another app. | Google Docs for iPhone and iPad supports opening and editing DOC and DOCX files and exporting files as DOCX or PDF, so its official flow is more centered on in-app editing and export. | Notion on mobile supports exporting content and then using the device share menu for the exported file, mainly for pages and workspace content rather than direct presentation-file handoff. | Adobe Acrobat on iOS supports opening files from email, browsers, and the iOS Files app through Open with or Share, mainly around PDF workflows. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: You can start the handoff from both the current presentation view and the WPS home file list. Distinct: It directly opens the iOS app chooser for a quick presentation handoff to another compatible app. | Compared with WPS: official guidance is less focused on a dedicated in-app file handoff path to another app. | Compared with WPS: Google Docs emphasizes import, editing, and export more than sending the current file directly to another app for opening. | Compared with WPS: Notion is more oriented to exporting page content first, so the direct handoff scenario for presentation files is less central. | Compared with WPS: Adobe Acrobat documentation is mainly centered on PDF transfer flows between sources and Acrobat. |

Overall Conclusion
Open with Other Apps in WPS on iOS is well suited to mobile file handoff scenarios because it lets you send a presentation from the current file view or from the home file list directly to another compatible app. Other products also provide official paths for export, sharing, or opening files, but their documented focus is different depending on whether the main workflow is cloud collaboration, page export, or PDF handling.
Use Cases
| No. | Scenario | Suitable for | Main issue | How it helps |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Submit a presentation assignment | Students and teachers | The presentation needs to be sent to a required learning app | Use Open with Other Apps inside the file and choose the destination app |
| 2 | Preview in another app | Mobile office users | You need to quickly check how the file looks in another viewer | Open the iOS app chooser directly from the current presentation |
| 3 | Send files quickly from the home screen | Users who handle many files | You do not want to open each file before sharing it | Start Open with Other Apps from the home file list |
| 4 | Open in a PDF or browser tool for viewing | Users who only need read-only access | The destination app is for viewing rather than continued editing in WPS | Choose a compatible viewer app to open the file |
| 5 | Continue work across multiple apps | Team members and reviewers | The same file needs to move through different apps | Use the iOS share chooser to pass the file to the next app |
