How to Take a Screenshot on the LG G Flex

Enabling the Screenshot Shortcut

If you own an LG G Flex smartphone and want to capture important moments on your screen, such as a funny conversation, an interesting article, or a stunning game level, taking screenshots is a handy feature. LG has made it convenient for users to take screenshots by providing different methods and shortcuts. In this section, we will discuss how to enable the screenshot shortcut on your LG G Flex.

To enable the screenshot shortcut, follow these steps:

Open the Settings app on your LG G Flex.
Scroll down and tap on the “General” tab.
Select “Gestures” from the list of options.
Tap on “Capture+”.
Toggle the switch to enable the Capture+ feature.

By enabling the Capture+ feature, you are activating the shortcut that allows you to take screenshots quickly and easily. Now that you have enabled the screenshot shortcut on your LG G Flex, let’s explore the different methods available to capture screenshots.

Using the Power + Volume Down Method

One of the most common and straightforward methods to take a screenshot on the LG G Flex is by using the Power + Volume Down buttons. This method is quick, reliable, and does not require any additional apps or settings changes. Here’s how you can capture a screenshot using the Power + Volume Down method:

Open the screen you want to capture on your LG G Flex.
Position your fingers on the Power button, located on the back of the device near the center, and the Volume Down button, located on the left-hand side of the device.
Simultaneously press and hold the Power button and the Volume Down button. Make sure to press them together at the same time, and hold them for a few seconds.
You will hear a shutter sound or see a flash on the screen, indicating that the screenshot has been successfully taken.
Go to your phone’s Gallery app or any file manager app to access your screenshots. They are usually saved in the “Screenshots” folder.

It’s important to keep in mind that the Power + Volume Down method may require a bit of practice to get the timing right. Be sure to press both buttons together and hold them until the screenshot is taken. If you release the buttons too quickly, it may not capture the screen properly. Remember, practice makes perfect!

This method is ideal when you want to capture a specific moment quickly, such as a high score in a game or a funny meme on social media. Now that you know how to use the Power + Volume Down method, let’s explore another method using LG’s QuickMemo+ app.

Using the QuickMemo+ App

LG G Flex comes pre-installed with a handy app called QuickMemo+, which allows you to capture screenshots and add annotations or drawings directly on them. This app is perfect for those who want to add a personal touch to their screenshots or highlight specific areas. Here’s how you can use the QuickMemo+ app to capture and edit screenshots:

Open the screen you want to capture on your LG G Flex.
Locate the QuickMemo+ app. You can find it in your app drawer or by swiping down from the top of your screen and searching for “QuickMemo+”.
Tap on the QuickMemo+ app icon to launch it.
Once inside the app, tap on the camera icon to capture a screenshot. You can also use the floating QuickMemo+ icon, which appears on the side of your screen, to capture the screenshot with a single tap.
The screenshot will be displayed with various editing tools at the top of the screen. You can draw, write, or erase on the screenshot using these tools.
After editing, you can save the annotated screenshot by tapping on the disk icon at the top right corner of the screen.

The QuickMemo+ app provides a range of editing options, including different pen colors, thicknesses, and text styles. It’s a great tool for adding comments, highlighting important details, or creating fun and artistic edits.

Once you have saved your annotated screenshot, it will be stored in your phone’s Gallery app or any file manager app. Simply navigate to the “Screenshots” folder or the folder specified during the saving process to find your edited screenshot.

Using the QuickMemo+ app is an excellent way to personalize your screenshots and make them more engaging. Now that you are familiar with this method, let’s explore the option of using third-party apps for capturing screenshots on the LG G Flex.
