I figured out the problem but not the solution yet.
The widget shows photos from the “Featured” photos in the “For You” tab. The issue happens when the “Featured” photos folder disappears from there so there’s no content to show in the widget. When this happens you’ll only find “Memories” and “Suggested effects” but not “Featured” photos.
I started have this problem when I removed a picture I didn’t want to be displayed on the home screen from “Featured” then the widget started showing no content.
Maybe someone can figure out how to get “Featured” to appear again.
