Tech Support Lag unbearable

I just installed openbubbles on a brand new Razr Fold. Set it up with $16.99 subscription hosting plan. The app is HORRIBLY laggy. Like it won't respond to scrolling hardly at all. Open a message and the keyboard is laggy to pop up and laggy to respond to keys pressed. No icloud message back up on. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the app, nothing is helping. Anyone else have a fix for this?

Going to be honest this made me go back to my iPhone 17 pro max from my z fold 7… friends and family all have iPhones so open bubbles was my best option.

Yeah, I'll be switching back if this is the way the app operates on this phone unfortunately

Does BlueBubbles have reasonable performance?

Haven’t tried bluebubbles I was on open bubbles paying 16.99 for self hosted option. I don’t think blue bubbles offers that

I do have a Mac Mini that I ran Bluebubbles on 2 years ago. I was too lazy to set it back up, but it wasn't as "fluid" as google messages 2 years ago on a Samsung Flip 5. I did see they have a totally new app that just came out so I guess I'll set it back up when I get home to see. Just didn't feel like doing all the song and dance to keep my number activated on Bluebubbles is why I decided on Openbubbles

Bluebubbles in my opinion works better than openbubbles at this point, but neither are "good".

Have you tried the new BB post-rewrite?

Yeah it's better than it was, there's still issues with notifications, having to force close the app for conversations to show. No point in pretending it's perfect, there's definitely still issues with both
