About This Feature

Overview

Insert Comment in WPS on iOS is a built-in collaboration feature in Spreadsheets for adding feedback to a selected cell, reviewing discussion history, and continuing the conversation in context.

Core capabilities include:

Add a comment: Enter and send a comment for the selected cell.
Manage comments: Reopen the comment panel to view the commenter, time, and content, then add more replies or edit or delete an existing comment.

Capability Summary	In WPS Spreadsheets on iOS, you can add a comment to a selected cell. After sending it, a red corner marker appears in the upper-right corner of the cell. You can tap the cell again to open the comment panel, view comment details, add more comments, or edit or delete existing comments.	Word supports adding new comments, viewing existing comments, and replying to or deleting comments from Review or Comments views.	Google Docs Editors on iPhone and iPad support adding comments to text or cells, then editing, replying to, resolving, or deleting comments.	Notion supports top-level page comments, inline comments, and a comments pane, with reply, edit, resolve, delete, and @mention options.	Acrobat mobile supports viewing, commenting on, and annotating shared PDFs. Feedback syncs across devices, and signing in is required to add, edit, or delete comments and annotations.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: Built directly for spreadsheet cell comments on iOS. Distinct: The red cell corner marker makes commented cells easy to spot during review.	Compared with WPS: Microsoft's official page focuses on document comments rather than spreadsheet cell markers, so the workflow described is less centered on cell-level spreadsheet review.	Compared with WPS: Google also supports resolving comments and assigning action items on iOS; WPS is more focused here on cell comments and basic comment management in spreadsheets.	Compared with WPS: Notion is centered on page, block, and database discussions rather than spreadsheet cell comments as its main workflow.	Compared with WPS: Adobe focuses on PDF review and annotation, so the file type and review context differ from spreadsheet cell commenting.

Overall Conclusion
WPS is well suited to spreadsheet review on iOS when you need to leave feedback on specific cells and identify commented positions quickly. Other products also provide mature commenting workflows, but they are centered more on documents, pages, or PDFs than on spreadsheet cell comments.

Use Cases

No.	Scenario	Suitable Users	Main Pain Point	How It Helps
1	Data review notes	Finance teams, operations teams	It is hard to explain an abnormal value directly where it appears	Add a comment to the target cell and record the issue there
2	Team feedback	Project members	Feedback becomes scattered when several people review the same spreadsheet	Keep discussion attached to the related cell and continue the thread there
3	Approval records	Managers, reviewers	Review notes are not clearly tied to the related data	Use cell comments and the red marker to show exactly where the note belongs
4	Teaching feedback	Teachers, students	It is difficult to mark revision advice item by item in spreadsheet assignments	Add comments to specific cells with revision suggestions
5	Progress tracking notes	Collaboration teams	Status changes in some cells lack context	Add time and handling notes directly in the related cell comment
