Installing Our Little Bird for Kids on Your Child’s Android Device
Ensure the supervision and security of your child’s digital activities on various devices.
Why not from the Play Store?
Google has changed its policies for apps designed to monitor children’s communications via text message. We don’t agree with the decision — it leaves families exposed to the very dangers they hoped our monitoring service would help them to prevent. But it also frees us to develop new features that will make our product better so your kids can be kept as safe as possible online and in real life.
How to Download Child App
Because of Apple’s restrictions, Our Little Bird can’t monitor texts, photos, and videos directly. Instead, we use an app that lets us do it.

Using your child’s phone, download the Our Little Bird for child app using this link.
When it’s finished downloading, tap “Open.”
Next, you may see a pop-up warning you about “apps from unknown sources.” Don’t worry — the Our Little Bird for child app is perfectly safe! But you’ll need to allow this for Bark to work.
Then, tap Settings and enable Downloads from Unknown Sources (or something similar that contains “Unknown Sources”).
