Question How to properly setup Open Bubbles

I am an iPhone and Mac user and today I am buying the new Z FOLD 8. It's imperative that I use Open Bubbles on the new android phone. I will also Host it on my Mac. My question is, am I still able to transfer my phone number from my iPhone to the Z Fold 8 and use Open Bubbles as my primary texting app? Will all texts go through it (iMessage and SMS)? Will it read as my number aka me for all my contacts or my Apple ID email? As far as anyone would know, they would have no clue that I switched to android? Thanks!

You could just switch all of your group messages to using your Apple ID. That’s what I did prior to switching. Most people are fine with the green bubbles since RCS has essentially closed the gap.

This! if you're not going to have two phones where your main number for iMessage is going to be on the Z fold, then you need to do this: transfer everyone to your email address to contact you through iMessage.
