See the pic below which is self-explanatory



Probably you have "Always" Ticked in place of "Away from Familiar Location"


For enhanced security, there's a one-hour delay when changing your location settings from "Always" to "Away from Familiar Location." This applies even if you use Face ID for authentication.



A delay will be required when you are not at a familiar location, such as your home or work, to change security settings.

How to turn Stolen Device Protection on or off

About Stolen Device Protection for iPhone - Apple Support

To turn on Stolen Device Protection, you must use two-factor authentication for your Apple Account and set up or enable the following on your iPhone: a device passcode; Face ID or Touch ID; and Significant Locations* (Location Services).


You also need to have Find My turned on, and you can't turn it off while Stolen Device Protection is enabled.


You can turn on Stolen Device Protection in Settings:


  1. Go to Settings, then tap Face ID & Passcode.
  2. Enter your device passcode.
  3. Tap Stolen Device Protection, then turn Stolen Device Protection on or off.

When you restore from iCloud Backup or transfer directly from a previous iPhone

to a new one, your device settings — including Stolen Device Protection —

are also restored. After a short delay to sync familiar locations from

iCloud, the Stolen Device Protection security measures automatically

resume on your new device.
