Step-by-step instructions

If Billing shows Manage Apple subscription, cancel in Apple Subscriptions. Bark cannot change those payments.

1
Check whether Apple bills the plan

In the Bark parent app or dashboard, open Account and scroll to Billing. If you see Manage Apple subscription, Apple bills the plan.

2
Open Apple Subscriptions

On iPhone or iPad, open Settings, tap your name, then tap Subscriptions.

3
Cancel the Bark subscription

Tap the Bark subscription, then tap Cancel Subscription. Bark cannot cancel Apple-billed accounts itself. Refund requests go to reportaproblem.apple.com.

Deleting the Bark Kids app does not cancel an Apple-billed subscription.

Can I pause instead of cancel?

Card-billed accounts in good standing can pause for 1, 2 or 3 months, starting immediately or on a chosen future date. Features are unavailable during the pause, and unpausing early requires contacting support. Apple-billed plans are managed by Apple, not Bark.

What happens to my account data?

When the account closes, payment information is deleted immediately and other data is deleted after 15 days, or sooner if you email [email protected]. You can reactivate later by logging in. A verified identity request removes data from active systems and backups within 15 days of confirmation.
