14 views
If your message is delivered but not seen on Messenger, it may be because the recipient hasn't opened the app or your conversation yet. They might have notifications disabled, be in 'Do Not Disturb' mode, or simply chose not to open the message. It’s also possible they viewed the notification without opening the app, which won't mark the message as seen. Patience is key, as there could be numerous reasons unrelated to you.
