How to Get PC-Level WPS Office on Xiaomi Pad 6: What Actually Works

Short answer: In April 2024, Xiaomi announced that the Xiaomi Pad 6 family could use a desktop-style app called WPS Office PC. According to the reports of that announcement, the Pad 6 and Pad 6 Pro needed system version V816.0.4.0 or later, and the app was downloaded from the Xiaomi App Store.¹ That announcement came from Xiaomi’s China market. If your Pad 6 runs international firmware, your store may not list the app at all. The cited sources provide no alternative route; use only an official compatible listing or ask Xiaomi support.^2,3 If it isn’t offered, the standard WPS Office app from Google Play is the safe alternative.⁴

How this guide was made: SpecCairn did not install the app on a Pad 6. Every step below is based on the cited sources and is written as a check you can do, not as a tested result.

Three different “WPS” apps

Three different “WPS” apps
App name	What it is	Where it comes from
WPS Office PC	Desktop-style WPS with the same layout as the computer version, offered on selected Xiaomi tablets.⁵	Xiaomi App Store, on eligible devices¹
WPS for Pad	A newer, Android-native desktop-style edition announced in October 2026 for Xiaomi tablets on HyperOS 4. The report contrasts it with an earlier Linux-container-based version.⁶	Xiaomi App Store, on eligible devices⁶
WPS Office (standard)	The regular mobile app most phones and tablets use	Google Play⁴

Don’t infer that your tablet can get a desktop edition from a standard mobile listing: the Google Play WPS Office listing is for the standard app.⁴

Before you start

Confirm the model. Check Settings > About tablet (labels can vary by software version). The Pad 6 Max 14 and Pad 6S Pro are different devices.^7,1
Note your system version and region. You’ll compare them with the reported requirement below.^1,2
Back up anything important, then connect to Wi-Fi and make sure the tablet has enough battery before installing a system update.^8,7
A keyboard helps. The 2024 report says the PC layout pairs well with the tablet’s keyboard accessory. It isn’t needed to install the app.⁵

Step-by-step: check for WPS Office PC

Open the system updater. Xiaomi’s UK support FAQs give this HyperOS path as a generic example: Settings > About tablet > Xiaomi HyperOS, then Check for updates (the update FAQ is written for the REDMI Pad SE 8.7, so labels may differ on a Pad 6). On older MIUI firmware the path may differ; use the update screen your tablet shows.⁷
Install only official updates offered to your tablet. The V816.0.4.0 number comes from the China-market announcement. Don’t treat it as a target, and never flash firmware from another region to reach it.^2,3
Open the Xiaomi App Store (Xiaomi’s own store app, not Google Play), if your tablet has it.¹
Search for “WPS Office PC”. Read the app name and publisher carefully. A result named just “WPS Office” is usually the standard mobile app.^1,4
Install only if the listing says it supports your device. If there’s no such listing, stop here. The cited sources provide no alternative route; use only an official compatible listing or ask Xiaomi support.³
Try a copy of a file. Open a non-sensitive document, make a small edit, save, close and reopen it before trusting the app with real work.⁸

How to tell it worked: the app opens with the desktop-style layout of the computer version rather than the phone-style interface.⁵

What about WPS for Pad?

On October 26, 2026, WPS announced that WPS for Pad is in the Xiaomi App Store for Xiaomi tablets upgraded to HyperOS 4.⁶ Citing WPS community information, the report names the Xiaomi 18 Fold and Xiaomi Pad 9 Pro Max as the first devices; the Pad 6 is not named.⁹

If your Pad 6 is offered an official HyperOS 4 update and the Xiaomi App Store then lists WPS for Pad as compatible, you can install it from that listing. Otherwise, assume it isn’t available for your tablet, and don’t install it from an APK website.^6,3

If WPS Office PC isn’t offered: use standard WPS Office

Open Google Play.⁴
Search for WPS Office and check that the listing is offered by WPS SOFTWARE PTE. LTD. with the app ID cn.wps.moffice_eng.⁴
Tap Install, then open the app and try a test document.^4,8

You’ll get the mobile layout, not the PC edition. The listing says the app contains ads and in-app purchases.⁴

Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting
Problem	Likely reason	What to do
No “WPS Office PC” in the store	Your firmware, region or store catalog doesn’t include it	Use standard WPS Office; ask Xiaomi support whether your region offers it^2,4
Only “WPS Office” appears	That’s the standard mobile app	Check the publisher and description; don’t assume it’s the PC edition⁴
Your version number doesn’t look like V816…	The V816.0.4.0 figure comes from a 2024 China-market report	The cited sources don’t say how it maps to your firmware; check for a compatible official listing or ask Xiaomi support²
A website offers a “WPS PC” download	Unofficial download	Don’t install it; use only the official store listing³

Don’t: install Windows program files (they can’t run on Android), sideload modified apps, change your region to unlock apps, or flash unofficial firmware.³

FAQ

Does this put Windows on my Pad 6?

No. It’s a desktop-style office app on Android, so Windows programs aren’t part of it.^5,3

Is V816.0.4.0 required for every Pad 6?

The cited reports give that number only for the 2024 China-market rollout.^1,2

Is WPS for Pad the same as WPS Office PC?

No. The 2026 report describes WPS for Pad as Android-native, unlike the earlier container-based version.⁶

Should I use the Xiaomi Pad 8 guide instead?

Only if you own a Pad 8; its availability rules are different. See How to Get PC-Level WPS Office on Xiaomi Pad 8.²
