About This Feature

Overview

Insert Signature is a built-in feature in WPS Office for iOS Smart Spreadsheet files. It lets you add a handwritten signature to spreadsheets used for confirmations, declarations, and other signing scenarios.

Core tasks include:

Add a handwritten signature: Open the signature panel from the Insert tab and complete the signature input.
Move the signature position: After insertion, the signature appears as a floating image that can be dragged to a suitable place.
Save and reuse the signature image: Open the original image and save it locally for later reuse.

Common use cases include confirmation sheets, approval records, and declaration attachments. It helps reduce the need to sign on paper and upload a photo afterward, while keeping signatures visible inside the spreadsheet.

Capability Summary	In iOS Smart Spreadsheet files, you can use Insert > Signature to add a handwritten signature directly. The inserted signature appears as a floating image that can be moved.	Microsoft Word support pages describe inserting a scanned handwritten signature as a picture and adding a signature line in documents.	Google Docs help pages describe using Drawing tools to add lines, scribbles, text, and images, then inserting the drawing into a document.	Notion help pages describe uploading, embedding, resizing, and arranging images and files in pages and databases, but they do not describe a dedicated signature tool for spreadsheet signing.	Adobe Acrobat Sign help pages describe adding a signature by typing, drawing, uploading an image, or using a mobile device in signing workflows.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS provides a direct signature entry inside the spreadsheet editing flow, which is convenient for quick handwritten signing and position adjustment on iOS.	Compared with WPS: the official workflow focuses on inserting a signature image or signature line in documents rather than a direct handwritten signature entry inside a spreadsheet.	Compared with WPS: a similar result depends on the Drawing workflow, so the process is more drawing-based than a direct signature command.	Compared with WPS: official guidance focuses on media blocks and file handling, not a dedicated signature command for spreadsheet content.	Compared with WPS: Adobe provides broader e-signature methods, but its official guidance is centered on PDF and agreement signing workflows.

Overall Conclusion
WPS is well suited to adding a handwritten signature quickly in spreadsheet work on iPhone or iPad. Microsoft and Google describe image- or drawing-based alternatives, Adobe is more focused on full signing workflows, and Notion mainly supports media handling rather than a dedicated signature feature.
