How to Create Line Breaks in Messengers

Though while chatting with friends and professionals, you don’t like to send long messages; however, if the need of creating a line break should arrive, most users do not know how to do it. The need of creating a line break might sneak in when you want to send a message in more than 1 line and want to send it collectively. Suppose you are writing a poem or a poetic message…

The need could be scarce and varied but it is quite easy to do so. If you directly press “enter”, the message got delivered to the user at the other end. I have picked 4 IMs that people use most often and have provided screen-shots for how it works.
