Great question! Bark can’t recover messages that were deleted before it scanned the device—so if a child deletes a message and then Bark runs its scan, it won’t pick it up. However, Bark works in real time for some platforms and can catch messages as they’re sent or received, before deletion. Many parents in my group recommend setting regular scans and talking openly with kids about monitoring. What app or device are you most concerned about—text messages, WhatsApp, Instagram, or something else?
