If you accidentally marked a text as junk on your iPhone 12 Pro and you want to reverse that action, here are the steps you can take:

  1. Open the "Messages" app on your iPhone.
  2. Tap the "Junk" folder in the list of message threads.
  3. Find the message that you accidentally marked as junk and swipe left on it.
  4. Tap "More" and then tap the "Not Junk" option.
  5. This will move the message back to your main message inbox and allow future messages from the same sender to come through without being marked as junk.

If you don't see the "Not Junk" option when you swipe left on the message, it's possible that your iPhone's spam filter has already automatically marked the sender as junk. In this case, you can try adding the sender to your iPhone's Contacts list, as that may help the spam filter recognize them as a legitimate contact.

To add the sender to your Contacts list, follow these steps:

  1. Tap on the message from the sender that you want to add to your Contacts list.
  2. Tap on the name or phone number of the sender at the top of the message.
  3. Tap "Create New Contact" or "Add to Existing Contact."
  4. Follow the prompts to enter the sender's information and save it to your Contacts list.

Once you've added the sender to your Contacts list, future messages from them should not be marked as junk.
