How to hide on-screen buttons on LG G4, G5, G3 &V10

LG smartphone’s home screen has three on-screen touch buttons- return, app drawer and recent apps. These onscreen buttons usually stay hidden when you are using an app or playing a game, and you will have to swipe from the button or right edge of the screen to bring them up. However, on some games like Mortal Kombat the on-screen buttons don’t go away and stays on the right side of the screen, preventing full-screen gameplay. This can be very distracting, annoying, and there is a good chance you will accidentally press the onscreen buttons. Whether its games or any other apps, you get a more immersive experience when the whole screen is utilized.
