Hello,

Yeah. I had to go to my gmail account settings, and redo the filters that stop 
working.  It only took a few minutes but, it was still pretty irritating.  
lucky for me, it was only a few filters that were messed up.  I’m not sure 
what’s going on with your iPhone settings that’s just weird.  I’ve never had 
any issues with filters/labels working on there.
