Faces (People) not syncing on new iPhone 17 Pro

Hello, I have a new iPhone 17 Pro and to my surprise, all my pictures have synched but not Faces (People). I have 5 pictures of my dog on my new iPhone and 2800 in my old one... is there a solution to this or is this Apple just rolling out features that don't properly work? Thanks.

Immediately after you first setup your iPhone, it has to index your data and files for search which includes Photos. Give it a few days and little by little you'll find that more photos will appear by search.
