  1. Check Settings on iPhone:
    • Go to Settings > Messages > Text Message Forwarding.
    • Make sure your MacBook Pro is listed and that the toggle is turned on.
  1. Check Apple ID:
    • Ensure that both your iPhone and MacBook Pro are signed in to the same Apple ID.
    • On your iPhone, go to Settings > [your name] to check your Apple ID.
    • On your Mac, go to System Preferences > Apple ID.
  1. Enable iMessage:
    • On your iPhone, go to Settings > Messages and ensure that iMessage is turned on.
    • On your Mac, open the Messages app, go to Messages > Preferences > iMessage, and ensure that you are signed in.
  1. Check Internet Connection:
    • Make sure both devices are connected to the internet, either via Wi-Fi or cellular data.
  1. Restart Devices:
    • Sometimes a simple restart can resolve connectivity issues. Restart both your iPhone and MacBook Pro.
  1. Update Software:
    • Ensure that both your iPhone and MacBook Pro are running the latest version of their respective operating systems. Check for updates in Settings > General > Software Update on your iPhone and in System Preferences > Software Updateon your Mac.
  1. Sign Out and Back In:
    • On both devices, try signing out of iMessage and then signing back in. This can sometimes reset the connection.
  1. Check Firewall Settings:
    • On your Mac, ensure that the firewall settings are not blocking the Messages app. Go to System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Firewall.

If you've tried all these steps and are still having issues, you may want to contact Apple Support for further assistance.
