Bark Phone
Partner APIA dedicated kid-safe smartphone from the makers of Bark, with parental controls baked into the device firmware for monitoring, filtering, and contact management.
About Bark Phone
Bark Phone is a Samsung smartphone preconfigured with Bark's full suite of parental controls built directly into the device at the operating system level. Unlike app-based solutions that can be circumvented, Bark Phone's controls are embedded in the firmware, covering contact approval, app management, screen time, location tracking, and content monitoring. Parents manage everything from the Bark dashboard. The phone comes in three preset configurations — starter (no social media, no browser), intermediate, and advanced — making it easy to gradually grant more access as kids demonstrate responsibility.
