Note Everything in S9+ seems to have lost encrypt function

[Android Central Question]

I just moved from an S7 Edge to an S9+. I transferred all the apps and data and apps from the S7 to the S9 and when I opened Note Everything I noticed that first, none of the notes had been transferred and second, that the fuction to encrypt was absent from NE in the new phone. I tried reloading NE from the Google Store, but got the same result. Any idea why? Encryption is a very important feature for me.
