This is a violation of the contract I have with my carrier. I asked the carrier, and I ask you, “Why do I have to pay a corporation for a service they cannot deliver.?” This is not normal business. (Except for those that had timed-out trying to download for weeks, and been deleted by my carrier. Now I tried each of the suggestions here, in order (except deleting my data), and when I got to “turn off WiFi”, it broke loose the backlog of undelivered messages, again. Over the next couple of weeks I invested 2 more 3-hour+ calls to customer disservice, and nothing helped. She did something that broke loose all the backed up messages, and I interpreted it as having been fixed. She was poking around in my phone/phone service from her end, and - voila! - she fixed it! For a couple of days. Spent 3 hours on the phone with a nice little girl in the Phils.

A month ago I called Sprint/T-mob customer dontcare. I have been having this problem for months. If that’s the case, you won’t be able to send or save images in Facebook Messenger.Samsung S8+: Glad to find this thread. Sometimes, users accidentally dismiss the prompt which asks for storage access. Let’s start by checking all permissions to ensure that Facebook Messenger has access to both your locale storage and the SD card. If photos won’t go through after that, continue reading. What you should do is simply un-friend that user and add him/her again. The common bug that’s causing this problem usually prevents users from sending pictures or even text messages to users that recently re-activated their Facebook accounts (Facebook Messenger accounts, too).

Leave the beta program or roll back to an older version of Facebook Messenger.

Clear local data or reinstall the app.Check permissions for Facebook Messenger.You can find out more about the server status on DownDetector or check the Official Facebook Support page.

Check if the issue is not on Facebook’s side.
