Capability Summary	In Smart Spreadsheet on Android, you can select a cell or range, open Track Changes, review recent edits, filter by time range, worksheet scope, and operation scope, and open details to see the editor and changed content.	Excel Show Changes lets you see who changed which cells, when the change happened, and supports filtering by sheet, range, or cell. Microsoft also states that edits made from Android phones are tracked.	Google Sheets can show the edit history of a single cell, including the last editor, timestamp, and previous value.	Notion provides page-level version history so you can review who changed a page and when, and restore earlier versions, but it is not spreadsheet cell-level change tracking.	Adobe Acrobat is focused on PDF workflows, and Adobe’s official materials do not describe a native spreadsheet cell change tracking feature.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: It is designed around selected spreadsheet cells or ranges in one mobile workflow. Distinct: The same entry combines time, worksheet, and operation filters with a detail view.	Compared with WPS: Excel supports a longer 60-day change window, but it relies on the Show Changes workflow.	Compared with WPS: Official information focuses more on single-cell history, with less emphasis on range-based filtering.	Compared with WPS: It is better suited to page or database history than cell-level spreadsheet review.	Compared with WPS: The product focus is PDF documents rather than spreadsheet edit tracking.

Overall Conclusion
If you need to review recent edits directly around selected spreadsheet cells or ranges on Android, WPS Track Changes fits mobile collaboration review well. Excel and Google Sheets also provide change visibility, but their entry points and coverage differ. Notion and Adobe are oriented more toward page history or PDF workflows.
