Random grouping of apps into folders then reverts a few hours later

A strange issue has started on my iPhone which is affecting my productivity flow. A few days ago my apps were suddenly organized into random folders - except for the ones on the home page of my iPhone screen which remained as app icons. A few hours later, everything was back as it should be. The phone has done this multiple times in the past few days. Any suggestions are much appreciated. Thank you.
