Skype message: "Not yet delivered" - what to do?
If your Skype message has not yet been delivered, there can be several reasons. Most of the time, the "problem" is solved very quickly.
Send Skype messages that have not yet been delivered
You can recognize an undelivered message by the small loading circle next to your text. However, only one thing helps: Just wait until the other person goes online. That sounds banal, but for a very simple reason: Skype only delivers your messages as soon as the person you are talking to is also online.
- Basically, every message is stored on your computer until both contacts are online at the same time. Only then will Skype deliver the message.
- So make sure you are not offline.
