Photos folder/tab is empty & camera uploads is the only place I can find my files

I’ve now checked the website and it’s the same as in the app. Existing and new photos are showing up in Camera uploads but nothing in Photos. It did appear that it was trying to display them, I got 4 messages shown in quick succession (Connecting to server…, Gathering all the photos…, This may take a moment…, Almost there…) and then it just sat there for 15 minutes doing nothing at which point I gave up. There was nothing in the deleted files or events pages that shouldn’t have been there. I’m not sure but the used storage space could be about right assuming that the photos are still there but just aren’t being shown correctly. I’ve also noticed they are being shown on the apps home tab in the Camera uploads and Recents sections so it’s just the Photos area where they are missing.
