A message sent on Messenger might not be delivered due to several reasons: the recipient's phone is off or out of service, internet connectivity issues, the recipient has deactivated their account or is in the process of doing so, or you've been blocked by the recipient. Trying again later or reaching out through another platform can help resolve the situation.
