I downloaded Electrum because it is supposed to support bc1 wallets.
Every time I create a new wallet, it makes one starting with something like 0x9.
I'm not given a choice of what kind of bitcoin wallet.
Does anyone know how to specifically create a bc1 bitcoin wallet?
Yeah, electrum does support native segwit (bech32 addresses) which starts with bc1, but you seem to be little bit confused about "Electrum" and between "Ethereum addresses".

Ethereum addresses generally starts with 0x.....but from electrum bitcoin wallet, you can generate only a bitcoin addresses (native segwit one) starts with bc1, not an eth addresses.

Do you have any screen shot, photos of your claim? I don't know from where you downloaded the software on your device which is impossible to generate a addresses which starts with 0x........in electrum. But from this link  https://electrum.org/ you can dowload the official electrum wallet for sure.
