Questions answered

Should I cancel my current app first?

No. Install On Guard, run the test run, invite your ally, and run both for a week. Cancel the old app once On Guard is standing guard on every device.

Can I keep my current ally?

Yes. Send them the On Guard invite link. They do not need the app to get texts.
