Windows 10: Faces in Windows 10 Photo App not being recognized?

I recently imported new photos into my photos application, and am just wondering why the app has not yet added the faces from the new photos under the people tab. Does it take a certain amount of time for the app to recognize faces in newley imported photos?


There are some new people but also many that there are already photos of that the program already knows/ recognizes.
