FAQs

What is included in Bark’s location sharing features?

Bark’s location features include real-time tracking on a map, location alerts and check-ins! Combined, they give you peace of mind that comes with knowing that your kid is actually where they're supposed to be at a given time.

What can Bark's location sharing features be used for?

You can use Bark's location tracking features to be alerted to your child's movements throughout their day! Need to know that they got home from school safely? Done. Want to be sure they actually went to their friend's house? You got it. Want to be alerted if they try to sneak out at night? Definitely. The possibilities are truly endless.

How large is the radius for a location?

The radius is adjustable down to 200 meters (~656 feet). This is the perfect size so that you're alerted if they start to change locations, but not so small that you get an alert every time they walk from geometry class to the cafeteria.

How does Bark compare to Life360?

First of all, Bark has never and WILL never sell your child’s location data (unlike Life360). Your child’s safety and privacy are critically important to us.

Secondly, we provide location tracking alongside the other parental control features needed to give your child comprehensive online (and IRL) safety. If you were to use Life360 for their location features, you would still need to use Bark’s parental controls. Now, you can do it all with Bark!
