App auto prompting to install

8x8work app is randomly prompting me to double click to install. I did not request it from the App Store and as far as I can notice, it randomly requests me to double click to install, typically 2 to 3 times per day.

I have never heard of the app before. I have checked the developer to see if I can recognize any affiliation it may have with other apps I am using but Iā€™ve had no luck.

I have noticed (but not confirmed) that it will prompt me to install usually when I open another app.

I donā€™t know how to stop this prompt. I am using an iPhone 12 work phone running the latest software. Iā€™ve reached out to my companies administrator and they could not help either.
