**[Problem/Question]**

Our users have requested that we allow them to create new lines rather than sending the message on enter. Is this possible without a custom input?

If not, are there any known examples, I’ve been searching the docs/web for a while but can’t seem to find much talk about it.

Hi Charles,

Welcome to the Sendbird Community!

Currently, this can be customized only with the help of custom input where you can find use the [sample guide](https://github.com/sendbird/sendbird-uikit-react/blob/main/SAMPLES.md#message-input) here as a reference to implement it at your end.
