Camera scan option for Notes app

When I open my Notes app I do not have the camera option. I only have the trash can, the share button and the create new note option. My app is up to date and I have an iPhone 11. What am I missing?

I actually figured out what was happening. I was in my Gmail notes and the camera option was not showing up. I would only have the options of deleting, sending and composing a new note. But when I switch to my iCloud notes I have the camera option there. No clue why it's only in a certain part of the app and not all of my notes
