Where do screens shots go?

I have a Sprint version of the V20 and I only have the Google photos app, there is no Gallery app. The Gallery app on my Note 4 is where all my photos, screens hots, etc went. Can someone please enlightened me about the V20. Much thanks.
 
I'm using the "capture plus" button in the notifications bar, and when I go to save the screenshot it pops up two choices: gallery, or memo. I can select either to be the default, or I can choose every time I save a screenshot (which is how i have it set up).

Btw, there is a gallery app on my Tmo v20 for sure. I use it all the time....

should be the same and when you look at the settings under the quick memo app - there is something about setting where capture photos are saved. Either gallery or within quick memo.

If you do either - they are saved on the phone memory not your memory card. but are easily moved if required.

That's where the settings are! I knew I had used, but couldn't remember for the life of me where they were!
 
You don't need both Gallery and Photos.

Photos is more versatile as it also manages cloud backup.
 
only if you want google to own all your photos too. some of us prefer not to use someone else's storage when you hand over your rights to the data - or some of them anyway.

Correction.....gallery is more versatile. As it allows you to access multiple storage locations and multiple clouds.

Not sure what Gallery app you are using, the stock Gallery that comes with Marshmallow has nothing like that.

Its the stock gallery app that came on the T-Mobile LG V20. Running Android Nougat 7.0.

I'm not 100% sure, but I believe that the LG V10 running marshmallow had a similar menu with all the same options.

Its found in the upper left corner of the gallery. Tap on the three bars, than the menu pops out showing that screen shot I posted previously.
 
Just checked with my LG G4 (Marshmallow), it has the same Gallery like you said, but it comes with LG's custom ROM, not stock Marshmallow.

My other phone with stock Marshmallow doesn't have that Gallery app. The Gallery app that comes with stock Marshmallow only shows photos with grid or slide view, nothing else.

I'm going to take a wild guess and say the gallery on LG phones is an LG thing. Simular to there file manager.
 
Yes LG usually makes excellent, highly optimized custom ROM for their phones.

The Android OS process in my G4 only takes 150MB of RAM while in stock Marshmallow it takes 850MB of RAM.
 
I'm having the same issue with a Sprint V20. No GALLERY so the photos are going to what I assume is Google cloud service. I do NOT want this. I see no option for a stock phone gallery in my phone.

Google cloud would be the back up of the photos only.

If you have a file manager on your phone, go to internal storage and look for a folder titled camera, photos, or DCIM.
Your photos should be in one of those folders.

Or if you have camera set to save to SD card, you'll find your photos on the sd under one of those 3 file names I noted above.
 
Just a thought, but you don't have to backup your photos in the cloud if you don't want to. You could just go into Photos and disable backup and sync. Then Photos becomes a glorified file manager.
