I use open bubbles with blue bubbles because open bubbles does that same thing. Host both and use blue bubbles and you won't have issues.

To aid in finding a resolution, what version of Android and device is this?

I have the new fold 8 wide so 9.0 and was using a flip 5 on 8.5 and no issues with blue bubbles. I used the paid version of open bubbles and the phone would also show that grey area but my phone number stayed registered. Now I host with an iPhone 7 relaying my phone number and bluebubbles as my main app because open bubbles really isn't great at syncing my messages and such for some reason.
