1. Since a recent update of my iPhone, often when I’m reading a longish article on my phone, the screen will suddenly jump back to the top of the article, forcing me to scroll back down through the text to find my place. This is very annoying. It seems to be doing this because of some new(?) feature that returns the user to the beginning of the story when he touches the screen near the top. It ofen happens when I’m just trying to reposition my handhold on the phone. I would love to be able to turn this off or at least be able to quickly jump back to my previous position in the text. Does anyone know how to do this?


2. When responding to a text message on my iPhone I can press Return to create a new paragraph and line break. When responding on my computer or iPad, pressing Return automatically sends the message, which I usually don’t want to do. I have to use Shift-Return to create a line break and new paragraph. I’d much prefer that the computer and iPad worked the same way as the iPhone. Anyone know how to make it do that? Is there a setting somewhere that I need to toggle?

Thanks.

1. Messages App Settings:
   
   • Open the Messages app on your iPad or MacBook.
   • Click on "Messages" in the top menu bar.
   • Select "Preferences."
   • Under the "General" tab, look for an option related to the Return key or sending messages. There might be an option to change the behavior.

For iPad:?Unfortunately, iOS and iPadOS don't provide system-wide settings for changing the Return key behavior in the Messages app. If the app itself doesn't offer the option to change this behavior, you might need to continue using "Shift-Return" to insert line breaks without sending the message.
