This wikiHow teaches you how to write a multi-line Slack message in a post or channel when you’re using an Android.
Steps
-
1Open Slack on your Android. It’s the “S” icon on a multicolored background. You’ll usually find it on the home screen or in the app drawer.
-
2Tap a channel or conversation. You can type a message that spans multiple lines in a chat channel or direct message.
- To open a channel, tap the team name at the top-left corner of the screen, then tap an option under “Channels.”
- To open a message, tap the team name at the top-left corner of the screen, then tap a message under “Direct Messages.”
-
3Type the first line of your message.
-
4Tap the ↵ Enter key on your Android’s keyboard. This usually looks like an arrow pointing to the left. The cursor will move to the next line.
-
5Type the next line of your message.
-
6Tap ↵ Enter. This opens another line, if you wish to continue.
-
7Type another line. Repeat this process as many times as you wish to type your entire message.
