Odd, for me it defaults in 1:1 chats, when was the last time you tried?
For group chats it AFAIK is enabled automatically if the group-chat creator has made the right settings for it to work (OMEMO can not work with pseudonymous chats and history disabled).
If the other side of the 1:1 chat uses a client that does not support OMEMO by default, then something like that can happen. Did you at least get the big red warning sign that the 1:1 chat isn’t encrypted?

I think it was maybe a month ago or so.

OMEMO works fine in a private group chat, it’s disabled in public channels as there’s no point doing encryption there.
Yes, that is what I wrote ;)
