Hey there patpatatipatata,


Thanks for reaching out to the Apple Support Communities.


You have two options available. You can recreate the folders and place the apps back inside. Or, you can also restore a recent backup of your iPhone. Since it’s only one folder missing, it may be faster to recreate it. However, restoring your device may take a bit longer.


If you’d rather restore your recent backup to get the folder back, here’s how: Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from a backup - Apple Support. Right below this section shows you how to restore a computer backup.


However, any new information or apps that you’ve added to your device will be overwritten by the content of the backup you choose. Here’s how to locate the latest backup: Locate backups of your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support


Best regards.
