Bark uses the standard radius set by Google for addresses — but this may not always always reflect the actual size or boundaries of some places, like large school campuses.
Fortunately, you can adjust the pin and radius slider when adding a location in Bark:
- Open up your parent app / dashboard.
- Tap
(new UI mobile) /
Map (classic UI mobile) or Family Map (desktop).
- If on mobile, tap the gray bar. If on desktop, skip this step.
- Tap Manage locations.
- Tap + Add new location.
- Enter in the address you'd like to be alerted to.
- Enter in the nickname.
- Drag the pin and/or radius slider to fine-tune the location:
-
(optional) Click on the location to set what kids will send you a push notification for that place:
- Changes will take a few minutes to take effect.
💡 Tip: You can speed that along by asking your child to tap the check-in button in their Bark Kids app.
