How to stop the Return key from sending a text message?

How do I enter a "line feed" (i.e. old shool - Carriage Reture) without sending the text message. When I press the Return key it automatically sends the text message. I just want to enter a line feed to make the text more readable.

This is expected behavior, the Return key will send the message. If you want to instead insert a line feed, you will need to press "Option + Return".


I hope this helps
