Is there a version of Safeguard for older Android phones?
The current version needs Android 8.0 or later. Version 3.10.0 is the newest listed build that installs on Android 7.0 and later. It is an old build: apps that rely on online services may no longer connect when they are this old. Get version 3.10.0 · All versions
Can I install this APK over the version I already have?
