About This Feature

Overview

Personal Preferences is a built-in customization feature for Smart Documents in WPS Office on Android. It helps you set a default text style for new documents and adjust supporting editing preferences in one place.

Key capabilities include:

Default text style for new documents: Choose from System Font, WPS Elegant Heishu, and WPS Simple Heishu.
Display style when opening documents: Choose to follow the original document or use a custom display style.

Capability Summary	On Android, WPS lets you open Personal Preferences directly inside a Smart Document to set the default text style for new documents, choose how documents are displayed when opened, and adjust supporting editing options.	Microsoft 365 on Android provides Office policy settings related to privacy controls and connected experiences, with a stronger focus on organization-level management.	Google Docs on Android supports theme preferences, including Dark, Light, and System default, and collaborators cannot see the selected theme.	Notion mobile lets users open Settings → My notifications to manage notification preferences for mobile push, email, and related alerts.	Acrobat on Android provides app preferences such as clearing app data, setting an author name, and managing starred file locations.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: The settings entry is centralized inside the document workflow and covers both display style and editing details for personal document use.	Compared with WPS: Public guidance focuses more on privacy and policy controls than on personal document display customization.	Compared with WPS: Theme controls are clear, but the published settings focus mainly on interface theme rather than document editing detail preferences.	Compared with WPS: Settings are centered more on notifications and account behavior than on document display style and text presentation.	Compared with WPS: Preferences are oriented more toward PDF app management and file handling than Smart Document text style customization.

Overall Conclusion
If you want to standardize how Smart Documents look and behave on Android, WPS provides a settings path that stays close to the document editing workflow. Other products also offer mobile settings, but their published guidance is more focused on themes, notifications, privacy controls, or PDF app management.
