Albums in Photos not showing up on iPhone

I have two Albums in Photos which are designated to be synched with my iPhone.


Within iTunes - iPhone - Photos

Sync Photos is checked.

Selected albums is selected.

Include videos is checked.

Two Albums are checked (their names are "On iPhone" and "Temp on iP".


Total photos indicated are 410.


I then press the Sync button, and iTunes appears to sync with my iPhone. But the two selected Albums do not appear in Photos on my iPhone.


Help?

iPhone 7, iOS 10.2

Yeah, I want the option to use my devices as I prefer. The only reason that Apple has structured it this way is to force people to use iCloud. I don't know why, I don't see any logic in it, but someone at Apple must have a reason.


I could do it the way I want to until I recently updated from iPhoto to Photos. Now "Sync" no longer synchronizes my Albums.


So now I won't be using my iPhone for taking and sharing photos so much. Which it probably a good thing - I should be using my DSLR anyway. Thank you Apple.
