Damp marks showing through tiles

Hi

I've just had my bathroom tiled in white matt ceramic/porcelain tiles and today I noticed shadow spots on all the tiles. The tiler explained that it's the moisture from the adhesive coming through the clay back of the tile and that it will dry out. I'm not confident with this answer because 36 hours have passed and the tiles still look the same. He's coming back tomorrow to grout and I'd really appreciate some advice on whether or not these shadowy stains will indeed dry out and if not what action needs to be taken. The adhesive is white Larsen standard wall tile adhesive.

Thanks
AMcC
 
What adhesive was used ? And as Dave says, sounds / looks like possible spot fixing of tiles. Did you watch your Tiler work, how was the adhesive spread / applied ?

Please see photo below. Not great light but sots best seen in the area of light reflection. Will they dry out. Tiler came with a plumbing team recommended by a reputable bathroom showroom.
