Method 2: Re-Enable Conversation View
Some users have reported that re-enabling the conversation view in the app settings can fix the issue. As the issue is most likely to be a technical bug, you can re-enable the settings and see if it helps.
To try this method, follow the steps below:

The promotions tab segregates all your promotion-related emails, once you merge this section with your primary inbox, you will get all the messages in one place This will solve the issue, and once it is solved, you can enable this feature again if required.

In your Gmail app, check your upper left corner for the “Accounts” option, and click on it.
Head towards accounts settings. You will see the option “Inbox categories”, and click on it.
