If your Facebook message just says sent and not delivered, it could be because the recipient's phone is turned off, they don't have an internet connection, or they've blocked you. Ensure you're connected to the internet. If the issue persists, waiting for the recipient to go online or checking if you've been blocked may be necessary.

  1. Why does my Facebook message say sent but not delivered? This usually happens when the recipient's device is offline, lacks an internet connection, or if they have blocked you on Facebook.
