How to Type Return / Insert Line Breaks on TikTok, Twitter, or Instagram for iPhone

Want to insert line breaks while typing on iPhone? Many iPhone users may be wondering how they can type return or insert a line break or two particularly on Instagram, Twitter, WhatsApp, Facebook, TikTok, and other social networks. If that’s you, you’re certainly not alone, so let’s review how you can insert a line break anywhere on iPhone or iPad.

For those who’re are unfamiliar, a line break is nothing but a line of blank space between lines of text. It might come as a surprise to many that something as simple as this was lacking on Twitter until 2013. On the other hand, Instagram still doesn’t allow users to insert a line break and separate paragraphs in captions by pressing Enter, and many other social networking apps also have similar quirks, including TikTok. Without line breaks, your posts, captions, and bio could look cluttered.

If you’ve been annoyed by this issue, we’re here to help. In this article, we’ll cover how you can insert line breaks on many common social networks like Twitter, Tik Tok, or Instagram for iPhone using the Return key.
