Sending an iMessage from my iPad using bluetooth keyboard?

I have the Apple bluetooth keyboard paired with my iPad Air.  I've been using it in iMessage lately and unlike iMessage on OSX Mavericks, pressing the "return/enter" key does not send the message.  Is there a setting that needs to be changed so that my "return/enter" key sends the message?  Or is there a keyboard shortcut that sends the message?  Thanks!

I highly doubt if there will be a solution for this request under Apple iOS roadmap.  I've asked the same request as you are.  No solution up to this point.

  • Is there a way to send a message from my IPAD using a bluetooth keyboard?

    Is there a way to send a message from my IPAD using a bluetooth keyboard? There must be a way, but for the life of me I can't seem to find the shortcut. I'm using Logitech 811 keyboard and have an IPAD 2.
    Thank you,

    Are you asking if there is a way to press "Send" from the BT keyboard as opposed to reaching over and tapping it on the screen? Not to the best of my knowledge.
    Looking at the posts in the More Like the Box to the right, I did find this link. It's old and may not be valid or useful:

    Are you using her Apple ID and email on your iPad? The Message app uses your Apple ID as the contact at which you can be reached.

  • Every time I send a iMessage from my iPad , the whole conversation goes to my iPhone..why? How do I fix this?

    When I use the iMessage on my iPad, it always sends the entire conversation to my iPhone 4 . I don't understand how to fix this.

    sign out of imessage on the phone.
    Remove the email address used on the ipad from the phone.
    Imessage is working as it should.

    I am sorry, my english isn't very good.
    Next try :) I send a iMessage from my ipad (wifi only) to a friend and he answers but i don't receive the answer on the ipad but on the iphone instead. Both devices using the same Apple ID (Settings>Messages>Receive At, same Adress on both devices). I tought iMessages are always received on bothe devices, like the advertisment says i should be able to start a iMessage conversation on ipad and finish it on iphone because both devices receive my iMessages... Thats not like it is on my devices, most times iMessages are only received from the iphone.

  • How do I set up iMessage on my iPad using my phone number

    I Know there is a feature which allows me to send iMessages from my iPad using my phone number, but am unable to find it.

    The phone number must be an iPhone number. No other phone number will work.
    Settings> Messages> Send & Receive> You can be reached by iMessages at. If the phone number appears in there, select it as your contact number. If the phone number does not appear, you most likely will have to start over again by turning messages off on your iPhone, enable it again, and then the number should be accessible to use on the iPad.
    This explains it in more detail.

  • HT4111 how to send a message using bluetooth keyboard in imessage

    is there any way to send a message in iMessage from my iPad mini using the bluetooth keyboard?

    I've got it connected and everything, but I want to know how I actually send the written txt without tapping "send" on the iPad. Is there any way to do it from the keyboard? Hitting "enter" just takes the cursor down to the next line.

  • Can you send iMessages from one iPad to another? If so how can I do this? Thanks

    I have just got a new iPad and I'm wondering if you can send iMessages from one iPad to another? We are currently trying this out and can only send iMessages from an iPad to an iPhone is this correct? Thanks

    You can use the Messages app to send messages to any iOS device or to a Mac running Mountain Lion. So yes you can send a message to another iPad.
    Both iPads have to have Messages set up and you need to contact the other iPad using an email addresses as the "you can be reached at" email address.
    Do you have it set up correctly on both iPads?

    Hey bill.rizzo2,
    Thanks for the question. I understand your phone number is missing on your iPad as an option for iMessage. The following article provides steps to resolve this issue:
    iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5538
    Phone number missing on iPad or iPod touch
    If your phone number isn't listed on an iPod touch or iPad, follow these steps:
    1. Update to the latest version of iOS.
    2. Verify that you're using the same Apple ID that you're using on your iPhone.
    3. On your iPad or iPod touch, sign out of your Apple ID in the following locations:
        - Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
        - Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    4. Sign in to your Apple ID with FaceTime and iMessage.
    If your phone number still isn't listed, follow these steps:
    1. Sign out of your Apple ID on all iOS devices, including your iPhone, in the following locations:
        - Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
        - Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    2. Sign in to your Apple ID on your iPhone.
    3. When activation is complete, your Apple ID and all verified email addresses should be visible in Settings > Messages > Receive At and Settings > FaceTime.
    4. Sign in to your Apple ID on your other iOS devices.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • I reset network settings on my iPhone. However now it looks as if my iPhone and iPad are no longer linked. They are both connected to my apple account but when I send an imessage from one it is not picked up by the other. What do I do?

    Check Settings > Messages > Send & Receive on both your iPhone and your iPad to make sure that the following are all true:
    (1) you have selected the same Apple ID on both devices,
    (2) you have the same entries checked under "You can be reached by iMessage at:" on both devices,
    (3) you have the same entry checked under "Start new conversations from:" on both devices,
    and
    (4) that the entry checked in #3 is one of those checked in #2 on both devices.
    When you say it has affected your iCloud account, what effect has it had?

  • I am getting a "not delivered" when I try to send a photo from my Ipad or iPhone via iMessage. I can receive photos in iMessage and I can send and receive photos other than with iMessage. I have tried restoring factory settings etc but no luck.

    I am getting a "not delivered" when I try to send a photo from my Ipad or iPhone via iMessage. I can receive photos in iMessage and I can send and receive photos other than with iMessage. I have tried restoring factory settings etc but no luck. Is anyone else having this problem please?

    I've been having this problem too, but here's the catch: originally it was only with my dad, and only sometimes.  Now it's dad and husband, every time!  Pix go through, via imessage, to everyone else, and they go through to dad/husband if I "send as text" after it fails. 
    And the other annoying thing- the blue bar will run all the way, and it will say "delivered".  So I close out of imessage. When I reopen it again, the "delivered" has changed to "not delivered" with the red exclamation point.  I just googled "imessage not sending photos" and founds TONS of people with the same problem, but no solutions.  (I have rebooted phone, reset network settings, with no luck.  I even had to backup/delete/restore my whole phone the other day for a different reason, and hoped that would fix it, but now it won't send to my dad OR my husband (who is on not just the same carrier, but the same family plan as me)
