How to Switch Between Classic and New Experience Interfaces on Android
Question details
The user wants to know if and how they can manually switch between the classic interface and the new experience layout on an Android phone or tablet.
- Product
- WPS Office for Android
- Device & OS
- Android
- Scenario
- The application's interface layout has unexpectedly changed to a new version, or the user specifically prefers the classic UI layout.
- Observed behavior
- The app interface updates automatically to a new experience, prompting the user to search for a manual setting to toggle back to the familiar classic interface.
Ensure your application is updated to the latest version via the Google Play Store, as manual interface toggles are often specific to certain transitional app builds.
Check In-App Settings for an Interface Toggle
Look for a dedicated interface or appearance toggle within the app's settings menu to manually switch between the classic and new layout.
During major application updates, developers sometimes provide a temporary option to switch between the old and new layouts to help users transition smoothly.
Launch the WPS Office app on your Android device and tap on your profile icon or the 'Me' tab located at the bottom right corner of the screen.
Scroll down and select 'Settings' from the menu list to open the application configuration options.
Look for an option labeled 'Appearance', 'New Experience', or 'Interface'. If available, tap the toggle to switch back to the 'Classic' layout.
Update the App and Restart Your Device
If your layout switched unexpectedly or displays glitches between two versions, updating the app ensures you are using the finalized, stable interface.

- 2. Explore the Workspace: Open the application and use the bottom navigation bar to easily switch between Recent files, Cloud storage, and robust editing Tools.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why did my Android app interface change automatically?
App developers frequently roll out new user experiences in phases. When a new interface design is deemed stable, the application updates the layout automatically in the background to provide you with modernized features and better overall performance.
Can I permanently keep the classic interface on Android?
Generally, no. The classic interface is usually only maintained as an option during a transition period. Once the new experience is fully adopted and optimized, the manual toggle to revert to the classic interface is removed in subsequent app updates.
What should I do if the new interface is missing tools I frequently used?
Editing tools are rarely removed during an interface update; instead, they are often recategorized to save screen space. Check the expanded 'Tools' panel, 'Insert' tab, or 'More' menu in the new interface. You can also utilize the in-app search function to locate specific features.
Will switching back and forth between interfaces affect my saved documents?
No. Interface layout changes only alter the visual arrangement of menus, icons, and toolbars. Your saved files, local documents, and cloud storage contents remain completely secure and unaltered.
