If you own an LG device and want to capture what’s on your screen, there are several simple methods you can use. Whether you need a screenshot for sharing something funny or saving important information, these techniques are quick and easy, suitable for users of all skill levels.
-
Using Hardware Buttons
This is the most common method. Find the power button and the volume down button on your LG device. Press and hold both buttons at the same time for about one to two seconds. You should see a flash or hear a shutter sound, indicating the screenshot has been taken. The image will usually save automatically in your gallery or photos app.
-
Using the Quick Settings Menu
LG devices running Android often include a screenshot option in the quick settings panel. Swipe down from the top of your screen to open the menu. Look for a shortcut labeled “Screenshot” or an icon resembling a camera or scissors. Tap it, and your device will capture the screen instantly. This method is handy if you want to avoid using buttons.
-
Using Gesture Controls (if supported)
Some LG models support gesture-based screenshot features. For example, enabling “Capture plus” or similar options in the settings allows you to take a screenshot by knocking on the screen twice or performing a specific gesture. To enable this, go to Settings > Motions & Gestures, and toggle on any relevant options. Follow the prompts to learn the gestures specific to your device.

Using Google Assistant
If you prefer hands-free methods, Google Assistant can help. Say “Hey Google, take a screenshot,” and the assistant will capture your screen for you. Make sure Google Assistant is enabled in your settings and that your device’s voice activation is turned on. This method is especially useful when your hands are busy or for quick capturing on the go.
To find your screenshots later, open your Photos or Gallery app. They are usually stored in a dedicated screenshot folder for easy access. If one method doesn’t work, double-check your device settings or try a different technique. With these simple ways, capturing your screen on LG devices becomes a hassle-free task, whether you’re a beginner or more experienced user.
