2. Attention notifications under child

Bark lets you know if something in your account needs attention. Notifications as seen below under your child’s name could mean:

  1. A device or account has been disrupted and needs to be reconnected.
  2. Bark has flagged something that needs your attention. For example, your kid may be using an app that's not currently being monitored.
  3. A device or account wasn't fully set up.
Note: Specific accounts or devices that need attention can be viewed by clicking the ->.
