Ensure your mobile device or tablet is connected to Wi-Fi, as you may need to download the latest application updates from your app store.
Update to the Latest Version of the App
Updating the application resolves known rendering glitches that cause fragmented text highlighting.
Software updates often contain essential bug fixes for visual rendering engines on mobile devices. Installing the latest version is the most effective way to eliminate formatting and display errors.
Navigate to the Google Play Store on Android devices or the Apple App Store on iOS devices.
Type the name of your document viewer or WPS Office into the search bar and navigate to the app's official page.
Tap the 'Update' button if one is available. Once the installation is complete, relaunch the app and open your document to verify that the highlights are rendering smoothly.
Test with Different Documents and Colors
Isolating the issue helps determine if the fragmentation is specific to one corrupted document or a broader application issue.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do text highlights look faded like low printer ink on my tablet?
Faded or fragmented highlights are typically caused by a graphical rendering glitch within the document viewer application. Updating the app to its latest version usually repairs the display engine and restores solid highlight colors.
Will changing the highlight color fix the fragmented text effect?
Typically, the fragmented appearance is an application rendering issue rather than a specific color bug. However, testing different colors is a good troubleshooting step to determine if the problem is tied to a specific custom color profile in the file.
What should I do if updating the app doesn't fix the document highlights?
If highlights remain fragmented after updating, take a screenshot of the issue. You will need to contact the support team and provide your device's operating system version, the app version, and ideally the affected document file for deeper investigation.
