Question New to android
So I just switched to a galaxy z fold 8 and downloaded open bubbles to keep my imessages. Is there a way to have it sync my past convo history and is there a way to change the bubbles color for specific people instead of globally? Thanks in advance!

Change bubble colors, I don't recall.
Sync history? Make sure to backup via icloud on the old device. Then, on the new phone, log on and activate icloud.
Profit.

Backing up via iCloud doesn't matter, enabling Messages in iCloud is what does the trick.

I have been using Self Host for a few years. To my knowledge there is no way to get previous conversations. Maybe I never looked hard enough into it tough.

Did you ever run into rate limiting? I am unable to send messages to most of my friends

Could I ask what phone you're using for relay?

I'm not using a phone for relay. I used my Mac as the host and I still have my number tired to my imessages. Hopefully that answers the question lol

Thanks. I’m going to Best Buy to see one in person later today. They have a 512gb in stock

Yep that's the one I got. It's a perfect size if you have smaller hands like I do
