You Can Now Monitor Spotify Messages on Bark Phones and Androids

Spotify, the popular music streaming platform, just rolled out a new feature, Spotify Messages, that lets users send direct messages to each other right inside the app. Unfortunately, this opens the door for strangers to reach out — and that’s where safety concerns come in.

The good news? Our engineering team jumped on it right away, and Bark now monitors these new Spotify Messages on the Bark Phone and Android devices for potential dangers like inappropriate content, bullying, and online predators. This means parents will have more peace of mind about their child’s online safety and can worry a little less about being caught off guard by a hidden chat feature in an app that’s usually thought of as just music.
