Accessibility continues to get disabled

There are a few reasons that Accessibility continues to get disabled on your kid's Android. Let's get it fixed up!

  • The Accessibility Menu is turned on. 
    In some Androids, there's an option called the Accessibility Menu that provides a shortcut to this setting. Disable it:
    1. On your kid's Android, open the Settings app.
    2. Tap Accessibility.
    3. Tap Accessibility Menu and turn it off.

  • An Accessibility shortcut for Bark is turned on. 
    In some Androids, there's an option within the Bark Accessibility setting that also provides a shortcut to this setting. Disable it:
    1. On your kid's Android, open the Settings app.
    2. Tap Accessibility.
    3. Under Services or Installed Services, tap on Bark.
    4. Turn off the Bark shortcut.

  • The app is outdated.
    In the latest versions of the app, your child can't access Accessibility (they'd need a device code only parents have access to). Make sure their app is up to date.

  • Aggressive battery optimization settings.
    The Bark Kids app can be affected by battery optimization settings on your kid's device. Add Bark as an 
    exception to battery optimization.

  • Restrictive data settings. 
    The Bark Kids app can also be affected by data saver settings on your kid's device. Add Bark to the list of apps that have unrestricted data.
