iPhone albums not appearing on iCloud web page

Hi all,

I recently refurbished my iCloud storage and web browser hub page. I have noticed that several albums from my iPhone are not appearing on the hub page, I assume this is simply a sync issue and will rectify itself but any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks,

The albums are shown when viewing the Photos Library at www.icloud.com in a web browser.

It will depend on whether you are using the Shared iCloud Photos Library or a standard iCloud Photos Library.

If you are not using the Shared iCloud Photos Library, all albums and folders should be shown at www.icloud.com, also any Shared Albums you are using. Only the smart albums created on a Mac will be missing.
But if you have enabled a Shared iCloud Photos Library, you can only see the albums at www.icloud.com, when the view has been switched to the personal iCloud Photos Library. Albums are not supported for the "Both Libraries" or Shared Library" view. You are limited to the flat Library view with no structure and the Media Kinds albums.

Only Shared Albums and a few special groups appear on the web interface.

Hi azaksalmarzur28,

Thanks for the response, I have confirmed that the issue was simply a lag in syncing and have successfully set up the interface as I was hoping to. (Don't worry about the blur, it is intentional) Thanks,
