They changed facebook again, and now when you hit return it enters your comment. I can’t figure out how to make a new paragraph using my ipad.

Write your stuff in notes and copy-paste it
Ugh. I hope there is a better answer, but I guess that will work for now.
Facebook on Idevices sucks pretty hard
oh, oh!!! I know this one! Hit shift while you hit return. It was bumming me out too
Usually shift – enter works to create a new paragraph.
That works on computers only I think
I think there is somewhere in the settings where you can make it so that ‘enter’ does not post a message, but instead starts a new paragraph, but I don’t remember where that is at. I’ll look around and see if I can find it.
ETA: All I could find on Facebook about it now is to use the shift + enter to do it. I’ll keep an eye out for it though. I remember seeing something about it once before.
@JLeslie :/ that’s lame, works on my tablet just fine :(
yeah, I see other ipad users saying that shift enter works for them
Maybe I’ll call Apple. I have something malfunctioning with the last update anyway.
Shift-Enter is how you do it on a normal keyboard. If you have those keys on the iPad, then the combination should work.
I don’t know if anyone’s still following this question, but on my iPad the shift+enter combo does not work in comments. Other ipad users have said that the shift+enter combo works fine in wall posts, though. I don’t know why it would work only in wall posts and not comments, but it’s definitely a pain in the arse : |
I just happened across this solution:
FOR iOS USERS :
turn on your Caps Lock and then double click on shift icon, then press return
Settings -> General -> Keyboard -> Enable Caps Lock
still seems like a hassle, but my friend says it works in all FB fields.
