I've already tried the instructions on the qiskit page and even from this other question What is the location of the Qiskit config file? but it doesn´t work, the circuit keeps looking as text based, even i restarted jupyter notebook, and nothing. The settings.conf file wasn't in the directory so i created one but still no results.

To check that the content of the setting.conf file is properly set you can run the following
from qiskit import user_config
user_config.get_config()
{'circuit_drawer': 'mpl'}
If this is not your output, then your setting.conf is out of format or in the wrong location. You can fix the location by setting the env variable QISKIT_SETTINGS. It is possible to do that in a Jupyter notebook with this magic:
%env QISKIT_SETTINGS <path to your setting.conf>

$\begingroup$ still no changes, first recalling the qisikit user_config but the output gives nothing, then i tried the env variable and again recalling the user_config but gives again nothing $\endgroup$ Mar 10, 2021 at 20:54

$\begingroup$ what is output of
user_config.DEFAULT_FILENAME? Could try editing that if it isn't what you expected $\endgroup$– FrankMar 11, 2021 at 12:49 -

circ.draw('mpl')and then `plt.show()'. But you really need to describe the situation specifically because it is not clear what really happens. $\endgroup$
