Lock icon not showing on notes

I have the iOS version 15.0.2 and for some reason I cannot add a lock to my notes. I do have one note that has the lock on it, but it was put on there ages ago. I tried to look in my settings to see if I could resolve it to no avail. Anyone else have this issue/know how to fix it?

Hello sunshine_16,


We see that you need help to lock notes on your iPhone.


You can learn how to lock notes here: How to lock notes on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch


Keep in mind, "You can only lock notes on your device and notes in iCloud. You can't lock notes that have PDFs, audio, video, Keynote, Pages, Numbers documents, or notes that use IMAP to sync with accounts, like Yahoo, Gmail, and Hotmail. You also can't password protect notes that you share with someone else. If you want to stop sharing a note, open the note, tap the Add People button, then tap Stop Sharing."


Cheers!
