How to Send a Message on iPhone Without Pressing Send
For those who often type long messages or need to think before sending, sending a message on iPhone without hitting the Send button can be quite convenient. Here’s how you can do it:
Instead of tapping the Send button, tap and hold the blue arrow button. This will bring up two options: Replace and Send Message. Tap Replace to replace the current text with new text. You can then continue typing without sending the message. If you want to send the message, simply tap the blue arrow button again.
If you want to keep the current text but add to it, tap and hold the blue arrow button and then tap Send Message. This will send the current text and will allow you to add the additional text without sending another message.
Remember, this trick only works with iMessage and not with SMS or MMS messages.
How to Click Enter Without Sending an iMessage
When using iMessage, you might want to click Enter to start a new line without sending the message. This can be useful for formatting your messages or for preventing accidental sends. Here’s how to do it:
- Start typing your message.
- When you want to start a new line, hold down the Shift key.
- Click Enter.
Your message will now have a new line without being sent.
If you’re using an external keyboard with your iPhone, you can also use the Return key to start a new line without sending your message.
