Your message is now sitting in your friend’s Messenger inbox waiting to be read. This is the icon that means your message has been successfully delivered to your friend. If you see a blue circle with a blue middle and white check mark … And “delivered” means that your friend has received the message, but hasn’t viewed it yet. For Messenger, “sent” just means Messenger has gotten your message and will deliver it to your friend. And there is a difference between the two. The message is officially considered “sent” but not delivered. If you see a blue circle with a white middle and a blue check mark … This means Messenger hasn’t received your message yet. We mentioned the color blue below because that is what’s currently listed on Facebook’s own Help Center guide on the matter. Note: The colors of each icon listed below may vary beyond blue and white.

In the next section, we’ll go over all of the icons used to indicate the above statuses, including the check mark icons.
