More About Bark - Parental Controls
Bark is an application designed to help parents monitor their children's online activities. It keeps track of text messages, emails, YouTube, and over thirty different apps and social media platforms. The main objective is to identify potential issues such as cyberbullying, suicidal thoughts, adult content, sexual predators, violent threats, and other concerning behaviors. Parents receive notifications only when something problematic is detected, ensuring that they do not have full access to their child's phone, but are informed about crucial matters that may require their attention.
The application also focuses on screen time management, allowing families to set reasonable limits on how much time children can spend on their devices. It provides options for creating schedules that dictate when children can access the internet, whether through cellular data or Wi-Fi connections. This feature aims to encourage healthy digital habits among kids while giving parents control over their children's online usage.
Bark includes web filtering capabilities that enable parents to control the websites their children can visit on their devices. They can choose to allow or block specific sites, as well as entire categories, which may include streaming services, online gaming, or sexually explicit content. This filtering system is another way for parents to help protect their children from accessing inappropriate material online.
For families seeking a more comprehensive management solution, Bark offers Bark Home, a device that connects to the home Wi-Fi network. This device allows parents to manage screen time and filter websites on all Wi-Fi-connected devices within the household, such as smart TVs, gaming consoles, laptops, and tablets. Bark Home is available for purchase separately, and an active Bark subscription is required to use this feature. The pricing for Bark starts at $14 per month for the full features or $5 per month for the basic Bark Jr plan, which includes just screen time management and web filtering. Setting up Bark involves downloading the parent app and the Bark for Kids app on the child's device to enable monitoring and management functions.
