The problem

▸ The default keyboard view in the Twitter app does not include the Return key.

▸ Changing the keyboard from the default one to, for instance, GBoard, does not solve the issue – the Return button is still not there.

▸ There is no setting in the Twitter app that would change the keyboard layout to the iOS default.

▸ This is irritating, especially for those who want to perfectly craft their tweets and make the most use of paragraphs.

Don't look for the "⏎" icon that usually represents the Return key. Instead, the key has the text saying "return." Tapping this key will start a new line.

Note: Don't worry that tapping the "return" key will send an unfinished tweet. The send/execute command is reserved for the Enter key, which is not present in the Twitter app at all.
