Bark lets you customize your alert sensitivity settings, and there's also a "Don't alert me to issues with this user, group, subscription, or song" feature.
Here are some common use cases for it:
-
Joking around with grandma
Ignore alerts stemming from your kid's conversation with their grandparent. -
Family group chats
Share a group text with your kids? Stop Bark from alerting you to messages you've already seen in there. -
Songs with sensitive lyrics
Some catchy songs have lyrics depicting depression, for example. If you're not concerned with that song, ignore future alerts for it. -
YouTube subscriptions to video game channels
Some video games depict weapons and violence in a way that may not concern you. If that's the case, you can ignore future alerts from that channel.
Ignore future alerts for a user, group, subscription, or song
- Open up your parent app / dashboard.
- Tap 🔔 the bell at the top to view your family's alerts.
- Tap on the alert that you'd like to ignore going forward (we have sorting filters to help you find the alert if needed).
- Tap the
crossed-out bell at the top.
- Going forward, Bark will no longer alert you to issues with that user, group, song, or subscription (unless it is a severe issue).

- Open up your parent app / dashboard.
- Tap on your kid's avatar

the trashcan next to the applicable user, group, or subscription. From now on, Bark will alert you to issues with that user, group, or subscription.
