In addition, you can take several screenshots in succession with the LG G6 and thus, for example, record long texts in one picture.

1. To do this, go to the content you want to record and pull down the notification bar.
2. In the top left you can see a pencil symbol, which is framed in a box. This function is called "Capture +".
3. If you tap the option, the question appears at the bottom of the screen whether you want to take a standard screenshot or an expanded image.
4. If you have selected the extended recording, the LG G6 photographs the screen independently until you touch the screen.
5. Then the screenshots are put together and you can still edit them.
6. Tip: The editing mode also starts when you select the "Standard" option. This allows you to refine the screenshots directly.
7. Note: This article refers to the LG G6 with Android 7.0.
