photos not showing in lightroom photoshop

I have seen similar issues in lightroom classic on this forum, but not with the lightroom photoshop (aka the mobile one/light blue lightroom.) It is on my Macbook pro as an app. I've been using it for years, and now it suddenly won't display my photos. I can scroll through my albums and it shows the small previews/icons, but not the actual photos/photo grid/ general display. I think it has something to do with the update. I uninstalled in, updated my computer, re-installed it, updated that too, restarted my computer, etc. and it still won't display my photos. What else could the issue be?
