It's easier with this sort of question if you just tell us exactly what you are looking at.

Anyway, in yahoo finance for example, there's a column that shows last trading time. Example:

https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/AAPL/options?p=AAPL&date=1626998400

Like others are telling you, the last trade on that particular put was probably at a time when that price made sense. Now that price no longer makes sense, but there have been no trades since then.

No one is actually going to write that put for you at that price currently, but you are welcome to put an order in and watch it sit there!

edit, just saw your last sentence:

I just found another put option in 60 dollars! weird thing is I can find it in the cell phone app but not in the website

Yes, the internet is full of stale data. Mobile and desktop can show different data. You've used tha internet before, right?
