Hi there pgAtonna,
If SMS text messages are no longer showing on your Mac, first ensure this is set up properly using these steps from Set up iPhone to get SMS messages on Mac:
Important: To receive and send SMS and MMS messages on your Mac, your iPhone must have iOS 8.1 or later, and your iPhone and Mac must be signed in to iMessage using the same Apple ID. See the Apple Support article Use Continuity to connect your Mac, iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Apple Watch.
1. On your iPhone, go to Settings > Messages.
2. Tap Text Message Forwarding.
Note: If you don’t see Text Message Forwarding, make sure you’re signed in to iMessage using the same Apple ID on both your iPhone and your Mac.
3. Turn on your Mac in the list of devices.
4. If you’re not using two-factor authentication, a six-digit activation code appears on your Mac; enter this code on your iPhone, then tap Allow.
If something else is happening, please provide more information so that we can assist further.
Cheers!
