Have you allowed enough time for the sync to complete? If you go to iCloud.com/Photos using a computer browser, do the albums show there?


Try Settings/Your Name/iCloud and slide off syncing. Wait a few minutes and then slide syncing on. Allow time for syncing to occur.


Last resort - have you tried signing out of iCloud and then sign back in?
