Block sites & apps on the Bark Phone

Allow or Block Apps

1. On your dashboard, tap your child's name.
2. Under the routine you'd like to manage, tap the ✏ pencil.
3. Tap Apps & websites at the top.
4. Allow or block apps.
   
   I don't see an app here. Your kid probably hasn't downloaded it from Google Play yet. Once they download the app, refresh this page to manage access or look for an app approval request. If you're looking for system apps, tap the Bark Phone shortcut at the top > Other settings. 
5. Wait a few minutes for changes to take effect.

1. On your dashboard, tap your child's name.
2. Under the routine you'd like to manage, tap the ✏ pencil.
3. Tap Apps & websites at the top.
4. Tap the three dots > Uninstall next to the app you'd like removed from the Bark Phone.
   

Allow or Block Sites

3. Tap Apps & websites at the top.
4. Allow or block sites by looking at the apps we've got listed or by selecting Custom Content.
5. Select Enable access or Block access to enter in sites manually.

App Block vs. Category Block

You can block specific apps or you can block all apps and sites within a category.

Our categories cover tens of thousands of apps and sites. If you don't see a particular app listed, it is likely covered by a category rule.

You're also able to block a category while allowing an app within that category. For example, you can block the Social Media category and also allow the Discord app.
