How To Tell If Someone Is Ignoring You On Facebook Messenger?
Facebook is a delightful platform where you can share pictures, updates, and more with your friends. Its popularity soared as people realized how effortlessly it enables connections with friends. From updating statuses to sharing pictures and chatting on Messenger, staying in touch with friends has become a breeze, thanks to Facebook.
Engaging in chats and keeping in touch with friends on Facebook is indeed fascinating. However, there are instances when we might feel that someone is ignoring our messages on Facebook Messenger. But are they truly ignoring us?
In this post, I will guide you on how to discern if someone is ignoring you on Facebook Messenger, empowering you to act smartly and wisely in such situations.
How To Tell If Someone Is Ignoring You On Facebook Messenger on the App?
It’s not uncommon to find yourself in a situation where you send messages to someone, and they get delivered, but they don’t respond. When confronted about it, they may offer excuses like having multiple tabs open on their system, leading to missed messages.
But is it true every time?
Possibly, but not always!
When you encounter this scenario repeatedly, it becomes crucial to know if someone is genuinely ignoring you on Facebook Messenger. I’ve faced this issue with a few of my close friends, prompting me to share this article with you so that you can determine if you’re being ignored.
Have you been left on ‘Seen’?
Detecting if someone is ignoring your message on Facebook is relatively straightforward. If your message has been delivered and read by the recipient but they haven’t replied, you can easily identify this behavior. When the message is read, you will notice their profile picture thumbnail right next to the message, indicating that they have seen it.
To clarify, if you send a message and the recipient reads it but does not respond, their profile image will be visible next to the message, as shown in the screenshot above. This simple observation is the first way to determine if someone is ignoring your messages on Facebook.
How To Tell If Someone Has Not Read Your Message, But Is Still Active On Messenger?
When using Facebook Messenger to text your friend, you may encounter a situation where your message is delivered but not read. In this case, the message will display a single grey tick inside a circle, indicating that it has been delivered. However, it has not been opened or read by the recipient.
In the image above, you can see that the message was delivered some time ago, as denoted by the tick. Additionally, the status “Active X Hours Ago” indicates that the user was active on Facebook 2 hours ago, yet they have not read the message. This situation clearly suggests that the friend is deliberately choosing to ignore your messages while actively using Facebook.
The user’s approach might be to avoid opening the message so that you won’t receive a read receipt. This way, they can silently ignore your message without giving any indication. However, you can still determine their active status on Facebook, which gives you the insight that they are choosing to ignore you.
In the provided screenshot, the message sent one day ago has been delivered but not seen by the recipient. Nevertheless, the recipient has been active on Facebook a few hours ago today, leading to the conclusion that they are intentionally ignoring the message.
How To Tell If Someone Is Ignoring You On Facebook Messenger On PC?
Similar to the mobile app, you can also check if someone is ignoring you on a PC. If you notice the photo thumbnail of your friend next to the text, it indicates that they have read your message but have not replied, choosing to ignore it.
What Does OBJ Mean On Facebook?
What Does It Mean If The Message Just Shows ‘Sent’?
If you see a plain simple tick on the message you sent, and it remains that way for days and days, it indicates that the text is in the ‘message requests’ section of Facebook Messenger. When the other user opens their message request folder and views your message, you will see a solid tick on the message. Hovering over the solid tick will display the status as “delivered,” confirming that the message has been successfully delivered.
To access the Message Request folder, the user should navigate to their Facebook Profile, click on the Messenger Icon, then the Three Dot menu, and finally select Message requests, as shown in the screenshot below:

How To Tell If Someone Is Ignoring You on Facebook Messenger Through Their Active Status
The majority of people have their active statuses displayed on Facebook Messenger, indicating whether they are currently active or when they were last active on the platform. If you sent a message some time ago and notice that their active status shows they were online recently, it implies that they have likely ignored your messages.
Mute Feature – The Tool Which Helps You Ignore Messages
Facebook is a wonderful platform for connecting with friends, and it offers a feature to mute others on Facebook Messenger. When this tool is enabled against a friend, it effectively ignores their messages. The main idea behind muting is to prevent receiving notifications for messages sent by the muted Facebook friend.
It is also possible that your Facebook friend has muted your conversation, but unfortunately, there is no way for you to know if they have done so.
When you mute someone on Facebook Messenger, you will still receive messages from them, but you won’t receive any notification when the messages arrive in your inbox. However, you can view and read those messages when you open your inbox.
In a nutshell,
These are just a few ways to determine if someone is ignoring you on Facebook Messenger. This situation is common, and by being vigilant and curious about their last seen and active status, you can easily identify if your Facebook friends are ignoring you.
