    I suspect you are using the modern text box. Make sure in the properties pane you set the behavior mode to Multiline:

Ensure the Text Input Control is set to MultiLine:

Select the control.
In the properties pane or formula bar, set:

TextInput.Mode = TextMode.MultiLine

This allows pressing Enter to create a new line.
Note: The Tab key will not insert a tab space—it moves focus to the next control, which is expected behavior in Power Apps.

Optional: Use Rich Text Editor Control

If you want more formatting options (bold, bullet points, etc.), you can replace the standard text input with a Rich Text Editor.
This works well with SharePoint fields set to Rich Text (Enhanced).
