Why is this not checkmate?

I think the above shows Checkmate, but chess.com only shows it as Check.  Can someone please explain how this isn't checkmate.  If it is checkmate, how can I get chess.com to credit me the win?

PS: The above game is still in progress as a 3d game, and I'm black.

(Apologies, I couldn't get it to post as a FEN image, so imported is as a pgn file).

Ke2 gets the King out of check with no direct threat to him.

Assuming that it's white's turn to play, white's king can just move to e2, and if you manage to follow up [removed — MS]

Better yet, instead of [removed — MS]

yeah this isn't mate because of Ke2, which gets White out of check safely.
