Description

Right now when I open a note with the iOS app it automatically opens it in edit mode.

It would be very useful to have an option to choose in the settings if we want to open notes in View Mode or Edit Mode by default.

For example, I would like to open the notes in View Mode and then press a button to switch to Edit Mode. Right now the apps works otherwise: it opens on Edit Mode and then you have to press a button in order to access to View Mode.

Research direction

Start by tracing the iOS note-opening flow and the existing settings screen to find where the initial View Mode or Edit Mode is selected. Add a setting for the default mode, apply it when opening notes, and verify that switching modes manually still works.
