This artitle will tell you how to view your Notes in Gallery View. Apple's Notes app is a handy, native application that's one of the best note-taking apps available for the iPhone and iPad. iOS 13 and iPadOS came with new features for the Notes app, including the ability to view notes in Gallery View. Gallery View allows Notes users to see all their entries with or without visual thumbnails, making it easier to find particular notes.

Gallery View is even more helpful when there's a photo or video attached to each note; it makes it easy to tell notes apart at a glance. Video attachments could be why your notes aren't locking so try Gallery View if you want to figure this out.
