Does Anyone Know What This Facebook Messenger Symbol Means?

Hi Guys!

Could someone please explain the meaning of this Facebook Messenger symbol?



I think this is only the second time I've seen it. It seems to suggest that I'm blocked from viewing that particular reply of the user (Andrea, in this case). Not sure really.

Thanks in advance.

The red circle with a red exclamation point means a message was not sent. If you scroll through the conversation, off to the left of at least one of the messages you will see this same icon, the red circle with an exclamation point inside. Click that icon next to the message and it will give you the option to send it again or delete the message. If a large amount of time has passed and it wasn't missed in the conversation, just delete the message and the icon will disappear.
