If you're using the Bark Desktop App to monitor texts, photos, and videos on your child's iPhone or iPad, leave your computer on as much as possible. This lets Bark scan their device whenever they're home and on the same Wi-Fi network.
Set your computer to stay awake during large chunks of the day:
Does this mean that nothing is being monitored otherwise?
Not necessarily. If you've installed the Bark Kids app on their device, Bark can still block internet access to apps and sites wherever your child is. Any accounts you've connected to Bark with their login credentials are also scanned continuously, regardless of whether your computer is on or which device your child uses to access them.
Can I still turn off the display or monitor?
Yes. Just make sure the computer itself isn't going to sleep, hibernating, or shutting down during the times you want it to scan your child's device.
What if I don't have a computer available regularly?
Consider using the Bark Sync instead. It monitors your child's iOS device without needing a computer.
