I'm happy to hear that! Bark’s system is designed to ensure safety by flagging potential risks and notifying parents without giving full access to all communications, which helps maintain privacy
Really great review! As a parent, I love how in-depth you explained everything! This review is a must-watch for any parent looking to ensure their child's safety online.
I always felt weird about the idea of spying on my kids but this sounds more like a meet-me-in-the-middle kind of thing. So glad I came across this video, definitely gonna give it a try!
The screen time management feature is indeed very useful. t allows you to set specific time limits for different apps, ensuring a balanced usage of devices. You can even pause internet access completely if you feel it's necessary. And I have even implemented it to my kids
On the Bark Premium plan, Bark scans your child’s connected accounts 24/7 and alerts you via text, email, and in-app, when possible issues are detected. Bark uses machine-learning algorithms to recognize potential threats, including the following: Body image/eating-related issues, Bullying, Depression, Drug- and alcohol-related content, Hate speech, etc.
Bark’s web app is your only access to the control panel on desktop devices. Everything is clearly labeled and uncluttered, and Bark provides descriptions for nearly all of its settings. I prefer using the web app over the mobile app when I’m at home simply because I have a larger screen and everything is spaced out better. Sometimes alerts can contain a lot of information, so viewing them on a smartphone can require a lot of scrolling.
Bark’s text message monitoring is one aspect of online protection that leaves some parents wanting a little extra surveillance. Families don’t get access to every single message a child sends, but Bark does send alerts for trigger issues like bullying, self-harm, sexual predators, and more. The alert includes a copy of the content and suggested actions to help parents handle the situation.
Thanks for the question, Bark offers two location features: check-ins, and location alerts, each serving a separate and distinct purpose. The parent initiates check-ins for immediate location updates. A check-in requires the child to open the app and respond. A notification is then sent to the parent with the child's exact location. Location alerts are notifications triggered whenever your child leaves or arrives at a pre-set location, like a practice facility, school, or another frequently visited location.
My kids are addicted to gadgets nowadays, can you set up different rules for different devices with Bark's Screen Time settings, like stricter limits on a gaming console versus a school laptop?
Absolutely, you can set the rules - no social media after bedtime? You get to decide. Want to block RUclips during school hours? That’s your prerogative. Choose which apps and sites your child can access during different times of the day, like free time, school time, and bedtime. In the Screen Time settings, you can choose when and if they can access which apps and websites.
Great question, one of Bark’s notable features is its ability to monitor your child’s email account. Bark can monitor Comcast, Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, and iCloud email accounts. With Bark’s email monitoring, your child’s sent emails, received emails, and image attachments are scanned.
I'm happy to hear that Bark’s features are helping you keep your kids safe. The web filtering indeed allows you to block inappropriate sites and manage what your kids can access online. Thanks for sharing positive experience
Great question, the answer for that is no, Bark assigns your device a device code, which is needed to make changes to the VPN. Plus, if any of your device codes are used to access a protected feature, the system automatically re-locks these features after 5 minutes.
Yes, Bark may monitor some deleted texts. It doesn’t keep a list of every deleted message, but Bark can alert you if it finds something worrying in deleted texts. Barks says there’s a better chance of this happening on Android because there are fewer restrictions, so if your kid has an Android, Bark can check deleted messages more effectively than on an iPhone. Bark also prevents your kid from deleting texts, but only if they’re using a Bark Phone.
