Personal Photo Albums Disappeared After Update

I recently updated my phone to iOS 16.1.2, the update went fine and everything put afterwards all of my photo albums disappeared. When I opened my photos app after the update, first it said it was restoring my photos (it took a couple hours to do so as I have a lot of photos). But even all the photos finished being restored, none of my albums were there. I have never enabled iCloud Photos, has a similar issue ever happened to others? Is there any way to get my albums back or are they gone forever?
