If your Facebook Messenger indicates a message as sent but not delivered, it likely means the recipient hasn't opened their Messenger app to receive the message on their device, or they might be experiencing connectivity issues. Other possibilities include the recipient having activated Do Not Disturb mode, their inbox being full, or they might have blocked you. To resolve this, check your internet connection, ensure you're not blocked by the recipient, and try sending the message again later.
