About This Feature
Overview
Create and Delete Worksheets in WPS for iOS is a spreadsheet management feature that helps you adjust the number and structure of worksheets in a single file.
Core tasks include:
- Create a worksheet: add a new blank worksheet from the sheet tab bar at the bottom.
- Delete a worksheet: remove an unneeded worksheet from the sheet tab menu.
This feature is useful when you want to organize multi-sheet data, separate content by topic, or clean up extra tabs in a workbook. After a worksheet is deleted, the action cannot be undone.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | In WPS spreadsheets on iOS, you can create a worksheet from the bottom tab bar and delete a worksheet from the sheet tab menu. | Excel officially supports inserting and deleting worksheets, including using the New Sheet plus icon at the bottom or the sheet tab menu. | Google Sheets on iPhone and iPad officially supports deleting a sheet from the sheet tab menu and also supports sheet management actions such as duplicate, rename, and reorder. | Notion officially supports creating databases, adding new pages, and adding views, but its structure is based on databases and views rather than worksheet tabs in a spreadsheet grid. | Acrobat for iOS officially focuses on PDF viewing, sharing, and subscription-based PDF editing, with no native worksheet-tab workflow equivalent to spreadsheet sheet creation or deletion. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS keeps worksheet creation and deletion in the same spreadsheet interface, with controls centered around the bottom tab area for quick mobile sheet management. | Compared with WPS: Excel also supports worksheet insertion and deletion, but the official page is a broader Excel help page rather than an iOS-specific worksheet flow. | Compared with WPS: Google Sheets supports deleting and managing sheets on iOS, but the official iOS page emphasizes edit actions around existing sheet tabs more than a dedicated create-sheet entry. | Compared with WPS: Notion is better aligned with database pages and views, so it is not a direct worksheet-tab replacement for cell-based spreadsheet editing. | Compared with WPS: Acrobat is designed for PDF workflows, so it does not provide a same-category worksheet creation and deletion feature. |

Overall Conclusion
If you want to manage multiple worksheet tabs directly on an iPhone or iPad, WPS provides a mobile-friendly worksheet flow inside the spreadsheet interface. Microsoft Excel and Google Sheets offer similar sheet management, while Notion and Adobe Acrobat are better suited to database or PDF scenarios.
