Kingsoft Office releases a new version of WPS Office for Mac to support the Apple M1 processor

Kingsoft Office announced the launch of a new version of the WPS Office for Mac, which can be used in devices such as MacBook Air, Mac mini, and MacBook Pro equipped with Apple Silicon processor. It is reported that this early version of the WPS Office for Mac, which is updated specifically to support the Apple Silicon ecosystem, has been officially launched, and users can download it from the WPS official website.

Apple Silicon is an Arm-based architecture chip custom-designed by Apple, specifically for the Mac ecosystem. Apple has officially launched the first chip specifically for Mac on November 10, named Apple M1 chip.

With the power of Apple Silicon chip, when using the new version of the WPS Office for Mac to open multiple documents at the same time, the speed will become faster, and the content zooming and scrolling experience will be smoother when browsing documents. Even when dealing with multiple objects in a large document, the editing operation is still smooth; Handoff (relay), Widgets (notification center), and other functions can get better performance on Apple Silicon.

In addition, the updated “WPS Office Widgets” of the WPS Office for Mac can help users complete common document operations faster. In the past, when users needed to browse/edit historical documents, they needed to open WPS Office, navigate to the application homepage, and open the recently visited document in the document list. With WPS Office Widgets, users can open recently accessed documents with one key without opening/switching applications.
