About This Feature

Overview

Play Slides is the presentation playback feature in WPS Office for iOS. It lets you preview a presentation in full screen on an iPhone or iPad and check the final display effect before or during delivery.

Core capabilities include:

Start from the current slide for quick page-level preview.
Start from the first slide or use auto play for a full-deck rehearsal.
Open presenter view and playback controls to use tools such as pen markup, auto play, and orientation switching.

Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Supports Play from Current Slide, Play from Beginning, Auto Play, and Presenter View playback. During playback, you can open controls for pen markup, auto play, presenter view, and portrait or landscape switching.	PowerPoint supports starting a slide show from the beginning or the current slide, and Presenter View can show notes and the next slide.	Google Slides supports presenting in the browser, recording a presentation, and presenting directly in Google Meet.	Notion Presentation Mode turns page sections into slides and opens them in fullscreen, but speaker notes are not supported.	Adobe Acrobat can present PDFs in full screen with page transitions and automatic page turning, which is suited to PDF presentation rather than slide editing.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: On iOS, WPS keeps slide playback entry points and playback controls inside the presentation workflow, including pen, presenter view, auto play, and orientation switching during playback.	Compared with WPS: Presenter View guidance is more detailed on the official site, but the documented workflow is mainly centered on desktop and dual-display presentation.	Compared with WPS: The official focus is more on browser collaboration, recording, and Meet-based presenting, with less emphasis on local mobile playback entry points.	Compared with WPS: It works well for turning page content into slides, but the official help page states that speaker notes are not supported.	Compared with WPS: It is designed for full-screen PDF viewing and transitions, not an integrated presentation editing-and-playback workflow.

Overall Conclusion
If you need a focused way to start and control slide playback on an iPhone or iPad, WPS provides a direct in-app path for preview and presentation. If your main priority is browser collaboration, page-based presenting, or PDF fullscreen display, Google Slides, Notion, or Adobe Acrobat may fit those document types better.
