How does content monitoring work?

Add any of your child's devices or social media accounts to be monitored. There's no limit, so you can connect as many devices and accounts as you need on every plan. When you connect a device, Bark will also scan up to 60 days of its text history to catch anything you may have missed.

For some social media platforms, monitoring requires entering your child's login credentials during setup. This lets Bark access the account's activity directly. We'll let you know during setup which platforms need this.

Once connected, our AI scans text, images, video, and audio for potential dangers, including conversations in English, Spanish, and Afrikaans, and sends you alerts for anything concerning.

You can also customize how sensitive you'd like the alerts to be. Don't care about profanity but want all alerts about drugs? No problem.
