When composing a Message on iMac how can you create a new paragraph without hitting the "return" key, which sends what you have typed. There must be a way to skip to the next line, thus beginning a new paragraph.

iMac 27″, macOS 11.1

We understand you'd like to find out how to start a new paragraph when messaging someone using the Messages app on your iMac. We can help with that.


All you have to do is hold the Shift key when pressing Return to start a new paragraph in the Messages app.


We hope this helps out!


Take care.
