The way to set the lock is to set it BEFORE cropping. It will then remember the state. If you've already cropped the image before setting the lock, it will not remember the setting. Go to an uncropped image and set it before moving any crop handle.

Hi @stevebrenman, welcome to the community!
In the Crop tool, tap Aspects. On the far left, you’ll see a button that says either Unlocked or Locked, that’s where you can control whether the ratio stays fixed or not.
Hope this helps!

Thanks so much for your reply. I appreciate it.
I have been using that control but every time I adjust it auto locks again. And I never need that.
So I'm wanting it to never lock unless I use that control manually to lock it up
