About This Feature

Overview

Personal Preferences is a built-in customization feature for smart documents in WPS Office on iOS. It lets you adjust the default text style for new documents and manage assisted editing options based on your own usage habits.

Key capabilities include:

Set the default text style for new documents, with options for the system font and two WPS Lingxiuhei styles.
Choose how text is displayed when opening a document, either following the original document or using a custom display style.

Capability Summary	Personal Preferences in WPS smart documents on iOS lets you manage the default text style for new documents, the display style when opening documents, and assisted editing options in one place.	Word for iPhone supports style viewing, limited formatting, and saved viewing state, but the official page does not describe a personal default text style for new documents.	Google Docs on iPhone and iPad supports font, size, color, paragraph spacing, and alignment changes, with a stronger focus on formatting the current document.	Notion supports page-level font styles, small text, and color styling, with a stronger focus on page presentation.	Acrobat for iOS provides app and device settings such as notifications, dark mode, and display-related options, mainly for PDF reading.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS combines default text style settings for new documents, document-opening display choices, and assisted editing options in one entry point, which is more suitable for ongoing personal writing preferences on mobile.	Compared with WPS: the official description focuses more on document viewing and limited formatting, without highlighting default text style presets for new documents.	Compared with WPS: the official guidance focuses more on formatting text and paragraphs in the current document than on presetting a default style for new documents.	Compared with WPS: page font styling is available, but the feature is centered more on page appearance than document editing preferences.	Compared with WPS: settings are mainly for reading and app behavior rather than managing default editing styles for text documents.

Overall Conclusion
