About This Feature

Overview

Strikethrough adds a horizontal line across selected text to show that the content has been marked for deletion or is planned for removal. It is commonly used for review, proofreading, and collaborative editing.

In WPS Docs on Android, you can apply strikethrough through Tools → Home → Strikethrough. This makes it useful for document review, revision notes, draft cleanup, and classroom markup while keeping the original text visible.

Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	On Android, WPS can apply strikethrough to selected text through Tools → Home → Strikethrough for review and proofreading marks.	Microsoft Word officially supports single and double strikethrough. Single strikethrough is on Home, and double strikethrough is available in Font settings.	Google Docs officially documents strikethrough shortcuts, and Android help content covers keyboard shortcuts for formatting.	Notion officially supports strikethrough through Markdown and shortcuts, including typing `~text~`.	Adobe Acrobat focuses more on PDF review and commenting tools, including markup workflows, rather than a standard document text-format toolbar for word-processing content.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: the Android entry path is direct for mobile editing. Distinct: this feature can be used without membership for everyday review work.	Compared with WPS: Word offers more desktop font-format variations such as double strikethrough, but the Android-oriented path in this guide is less direct.	Compared with WPS: Google Docs supports strikethrough, but Android guidance is split between shortcut help and other formatting guidance.	Compared with WPS: Notion supports strikethrough well for general writing, but its editing model is more Markdown-centered than a document-format toolbar flow.	Compared with WPS: Acrobat is better aligned with PDF review and annotation, while WPS is more direct for plain document text formatting on Android.

Overall Conclusion
If you mainly edit documents on Android and need a quick way to mark text for removal, WPS Strikethrough fits a mobile review workflow well. If you need more desktop font variations or mostly review PDFs, other products may better match those specific scenarios.
