Capability Summary	On Android, you can select a paragraph in editing mode and use Alignment and Indent to increase or decrease indent directly.	Word for Android tablets supports paragraph indentation and also documents special indent options.	The official Google Docs Android help page covers paragraph formatting and alignment, but that page does not clearly list a dedicated indent control.	Notion mobile provides an indent option in the editor toolbar for page content blocks.	Acrobat on mobile focuses on PDF text editing and insertion, and its official page does not document a paragraph indent workflow.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: the entry is grouped in the editing toolbar for quick paragraph hierarchy changes on mobile. Distinct: the current workflow directly supports both increase indent and decrease indent.	Compared with WPS: it also supports indentation, and the official page mentions special indent, but the documented experience is more tablet-oriented.	Compared with WPS: the official Android help emphasizes paragraph spacing and alignment more than a direct indent workflow.	Compared with WPS: it is more focused on block hierarchy than traditional document paragraph formatting.	Compared with WPS: it is mainly designed for PDF editing rather than paragraph indent in a document editor.

Overall Conclusion
WPS Indent on Android is well suited to mobile document editing when you need to adjust paragraph hierarchy directly on a phone. If your main task is quick formatting inside a smart document, WPS offers a more focused path for this workflow, while the other products are stronger in their own document, block, or PDF scenarios.
