How to take a screenshot on the LG G6
Snapping a screenshot is typically standard across the board for most Android devices, but sometimes you can get tripped up if the button placement is different from what you're used that. That seems like the case with the LG G6, at least, which is why we've put together this quick little how-to.
How to take a screenshot on the LG G6
- Hold down the power button on the backside of the phone.
- Immediately press the down volume button on the left side of the phone.
- Release both buttons at the same time.
If you performed the combination properly, you'll have seen a smaller version of the screen you took quickly pop up and disappear.
How to access the screenshot you took
On the LG G6, screenshots are stored in a special folder, accessible through the photo-viewing or gallery app you choose as your default.
- Swipe down on the notification shade.
- Tap on the screenshot to open it.
- Choose an app as your default, if you haven't already.
You can easily share, edit, or delete the screenshot if you chose the LG Gallery app as your default.
