this can either be a temporary glitch on facebook or due to a poor Internet connection or any other resttrictions on ur facebook account. in that case u may update ur facebook application, clear its cache nd toggle from Wi-Fi to mobile internet nd vice versa.

first thing id check is if it fails with everyone or only one person
if its happening with everyone check account status/support inbox for any restriction and also try from browser. if its only one chat then its probably something with that conversation or recipient

"Fail to send" is typically a network drop especially when you are using the app. What actually happens is once there is no continuous network flow the app tries to buffer, this time, it may send that message. But wait a bit and continue to refresh because sometimes it connects and commences the upload which can show up after some minutes. Wait for at least 10 minutes then try again once you are sure your network is stable again and the first attempt failed

Have you checked to be sure your account is not suspended? There is time Facebook restricts you from posting and commenting or even sending chat messages. Check to be sure this isn't your case. Also, a network downtime can also cause that.

I've cleared the cache and switched to 4G, but Facebook is still having that error.

Please provide details regarding any network or application errors you are encountering so we can investigate the source of the problem; issues of this nature are typically caused by the connection.

If network isn't the issue, you likely hit a temporary action block for sending too fast or triggering spam filters. Log in via desktop browser or check Account Status in your settings to see if there's an active restriction. Giving it a 24h break usually resets it.

you mean when you send message to other people, right?
sometimes, I got the same problem, because of my error network, or it's also the error from Facebook, but just happen in very short time.
you can wait and try again later.

You just need to reload the page; this error often occurs due to a weak connection or because Facebook is updating.
