Braille on Apple Products

Hello,
I’m using my Focus 40 5th generation Braille display with my iPhone.
I have a question about how to enter a new line when working in places such as, "Messages" where pressing my enter key will send the message, rather than create a new line.
Does anyone know how to create a new line in this situation?

You have to add the Option key

Hi Skippy.
To insert a new line in a text field of a chat program such as iMessage or FB Messenger, you will need to press dots 2 and 7 with space followed quickly by dot 8. The space with 2-7 command emulates the Option key on a Bluetooth keyboard. If you were on a keyboard, you could simply use option with enter to insert the new line. I hope this helps!
