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.

STEP 1: Log in to your dashboard, if applicable.
STEP 2: Click Alert Settings on the top right menu.
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.
