Direct indicators of being restricted on Messenger are not available. However, signals such as not seeing updates to the person's profile photo, inability to send messages in certain situations, or absence of 'Last Active' status can suggest you might have been restricted. Remember, these clues aren't conclusive, as they could also be due to other privacy settings or the person deactivating their account.
