Capability Summary	On iOS smart spreadsheets, WPS lets you open Share from the top menu, reading mode settings, or the document list. You can set sharing scope, manage collaborators, copy links, share to common apps, export as `.xlsx`, and transfer files in person.	Excel for iPhone supports sharing through Share, inviting people, and copying links for collaboration. Some co-authoring workflows require a Microsoft 365 subscription.	Google Sheets supports sharing with specific people or by link, with Viewer, Commenter, or Editor permissions.	Notion supports inviting people, adjusting permissions, copying a page link, and publishing to the web.	Acrobat mobile supports sharing PDFs for review with link access and comments, but it is not a native spreadsheet collaboration tool.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS brings link sharing, collaborator management, `.xlsx` export, in-person transfer, and app-based distribution together in one mobile sharing panel.	Compared with WPS: Excel collaboration on iPhone depends more on cloud storage and subscription conditions for some workflows.	Compared with WPS: Sheets offers clear link permission controls, but its sharing flow is centered on the Google ecosystem.	Compared with WPS: Notion is more focused on pages and databases than cell-based spreadsheet work.	Compared with WPS: Acrobat is better aligned with PDF review workflows than smart spreadsheet sharing.

Overall Conclusion
If you want to share a smart spreadsheet quickly from an iPhone, WPS keeps the main actions in one place and works well for sending links, adjusting access, and exporting files. Other products also support collaboration or sharing, but their workflows focus on different file types or ecosystems.
