  2. Now, on your kid's Bark Phone, open the ⚙ Settings app.
  3. Tap Connections.
  4. Tap Data usage.
    • Toggle on Data Saver.
    • If you'd like, you can also set a Billing cycle and data warning for the first day of each month.
    • Leave the "Limit mobile data usage" setting turned off. Doing so helps Bark continue to update the phone, even if your kid has used all of their plan's data for the month.
