How to Take a Screenshot on An LG Phone
When you find something that you want to screenshot, all you need to do is:
1. Put a finger on the power button of the gadget. Another finger should be placed on the volume-down button.
2. Press the lower volume button and the power button simultaneously.
You have successfully captured a screenshot if your LG device’s screen briefly flashes.
How to View Screenshots You’ve Taken on Your LG Phone
There really isn’t much use in screenshotting if you don’t know how to view the screenshot after you’ve taken it.
1. Open your Camera app.
2. Activate the photo gallery.
3. If your screenshot doesn’t appear in your main photo gallery, it may have been saved to a folder or album named “Screenshots” or something similar. Every device has a different set of specifics.
You can go back to a screenshot you’ve already found in your photo gallery as often as you’d like (unless you decide to delete it). Any messaging app with image-sharing capabilities lets you share the screenshot there as well.
Why Take Screenshots?
Screenshots are useful for a variety of purposes. They’re often used to:
- To send something to a friend without having to type it out, note it down on social media, in a text message, or in an email.
- Back up any transient information or data, like a coupon or a hasty note.
- Save a game achievement.
- Show proof of an app bug or mistake.
It’s a very common tool, and you should use it whenever you want to text someone a screenshot of your computer screen.
Nevertheless, you ought to use it with consideration for the privacy of others. You might unintentionally share content that others would prefer not to be public, particularly with email and social media like Snapchat. Do not record private conversations or information you believe others may not want shared.
Where Do I Find the Screenshots I’ve Taken?
You can find the screenshot in LG’s gallery app or any other app you’ve chosen to use to organize your photos. Depending on the app settings, it may sort them into a “screenshots” folder, or just put them in your overall photo roll. For these settings, check out your specific app.
Your screenshots will also be saved if you have an automatic backup system in place. Make sure to regularly remove items from your backup files if you decide you no longer need them.
How Do I Share My Screenshots?
You can share screenshots just like you share other photos because most apps treat them like regular photos.
You are welcome to apply a selfie filter to your screenshot since post-processing apps will also see them in that light.
Use a photo editing app to crop out any extraneous portions of the image when taking pictures where you don’t need or want the entire screen.
