I'm having the same issue and it used to work up until I logged out today to try and fix another issue. I set up my PIN and select "Yes" when it asks "Do you want to require unlocking with your master password when the application is restarted?" Up until today that worked fine I would only get prompted for my master password when my phone restarted or the Bitwarden app updated but now every time I move away from Bitwarden when I go back it's always asking for my master password.

I've tried clearing data/reinstalling/rebooting phone and nothing seems to work.
