If your child's iOS device is not blocking apps and sites over cellular data, check the following:

  1. Check your Screen Time rules in your parent app or dashboard.
  2. Update or install the bark kids app.png Bark Kids app on their device.
  3. Open the Find Buried Options in the iOS Settings App | MacSolutions Plus Buffalo's local Mac store Settings app on their device.
  4. Tap network_settings_ios_icon.png Cellular.
  5. Enable green toggle ios.png the toggle next to Bark Kids. IMG_A05F09838096-1.jpg
  6. Restart the device.
  7. Wait a few minutes for Bark to settle in.
  8. (optional) Use Apple Screen Time to prevent future changes to that setting:
    • On your child's device, open the Settings app.
    • Tap Screen Time > Content and Privacy Restrictions > Cellular Data > Don’t Allow.

      Note: The Bark Kids app lets you block apps and sites. To get alerts about issues in their texts, iMessages, photos, and more, you'll need either the Bark Desktop App or the Bark Home.
