The new software update will bring many new features to the Korean manufacturer’s flagship. These include gesture control, real-time visualization of screenshots, and improvements to background application management.
LG also plans to integrate YouTube Live for live streaming directly from the camera options. Capture + will store the URL address, so the user connects to the site directly from the gallery. Another function will allow you to capture a part of the screen and keep it superimposed.
With the arrival of the Dual App, the owner of the device will be able to install a duplicate of the main applications of social networks or messengers, to use two accounts at the same time. Already blocking the home screen will prevent the position of apps and widgets from being moved or removed.
To complete, the company will include the new Game Launcher application in order to house all the games installed in the smartphone, besides giving the possibility to manually disable DTS: X directly from the game menu.
If you have imported an LG V40 ThinQ drive to check if the update is available on your smartphone, simply go to Update Center within your device settings.
