When Bark detects a potential issue on your children's monitored devices or accounts, Bark sends an alert to the Bark account email used during signup.
If you or a family member would also like to receive text alerts, you can add their phone number via your account's Alert Settings.
Adding a Mobile Number for Text Alerts
STEP 1: Log in to your dashboard, if applicable.
STEP 2: Click Alert Settings on the ˅ menu (computer) or ≡ More (mobile).
STEP 3: Click on the dropdown to open a menu and select Text, as seen below. Currently, we only support phone numbers in the United States and South Africa.
Deleting an Existing Phone Number or Email
Click the X next to the number or email, as seen below.
Monitoring Text Messages
Monitoring a child's text messages is included in the Bark Premium subscription plan. For more information on how Bark monitors text messages, check out our Text Message FAQ.
