This article seems to suggest you need to be actively using an app on your phone to help it trigger:

“It also seems like the algorithm is looking for very specific conditions to detect the theft, and one requirement is that you’re actively using an app on your phone. I could not get the feature to trigger with the phone idle on my home screen. In other words, it won’t detect anything if you have your device unlocked on the table in front of you and someone snatches it while you’re not looking.”

Would like to ask this feature .. says it is an anti theft feature wherein if this is activated, you cannot off your device unless you key in your password, right?!?

I cannot use this feature if my phone is unlock .. I mean first I lockscreen for this to just shut down…

When the phone is in unlock mode, it can easily be closed…

I said I bought the aura I need to click the lock screen button first… pro is only available off verify feature if the phone is locked screen

Do you want to fix it? Like my phone once activated, it’s safe to do it as long as it can be closed when asking for a password first… D hassle…
