First, make sure that you've given your iPhone permission to send notifications to your Mac. You can do this by going to the Notifications section of your iPhone's Settings app and making sure that the "Allow Notifications" switch is turned on for your Mac. see: Use notifications on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support.


If that's not the problem, it's possible that your Mac's Do Not Disturb feature is turned on. You can check this by opening the Do Not Disturb section of your Mac's System Preferences. If the "Enable Do Not Disturb" switch is turned on, try turning it off and seeing if that fixes the problem.


if you're still not getting text notifications on your iPhone 12 when your MacBook Pro is open, you can try restarting both devices. Sometimes, a simple restart can fix problem like this.
