Three Places to Double Check-

  1. On your iPhone, open Settings ➔ Apple ID (Your Name at Top) ➔ iCloud ➔ Messages : Ensure that this setting is set to ON.
  2. On your iPhone, open Settings ➔ Messages ➔ Text Message Forwarding : Here, ensure that your MacBook shows up and the switch has been set to ON.
  3. On your MacBook, Open Messages app ➔ preferences ➔ iMessage : Here, ensure that you are Signed in with your Apple ID and Enable Messages in iCloud is checked.
