The web interface does not respect the setting where 'enter' sends a message (or not); pressing 'enter' does indeed send the message.

I have composed letters in Word (including line breaks) and then pasted the text into the web interface, but this is overkill.

So how does one create a line break in WhatsApp web?

I'm not sure if this is documented somewhere but many desktop applications and websites exhibit this behaviour as well; one of the examples is Stack Exchange's own chat server.

  • Any way to change such behavior so ENTER doesn't send the message?.
