Can my child delete the Bark app?

Yes, it’s pretty easy to uninstall the Bark for Kids app . Bark didn’t prevent me in any way from uninstalling the app from my child’s Android device. This disabled Bark’s website and app filtering, screen time management, and monitoring of text messages, photos, and videos, but Bark kept monitoring activity on accounts I had connected through the dashboard. I recommend using a parental control app that provides uninstall protections like Qustodio or Net Nanny .
