Implementations generally relate to retrieving images from a device for consumption by the receiving device. In some implementations, a computing device may receive from a communication device an update to a collection of images including at least one image not previously received in a prior version of the collection. The computing device may store in long term memory the update to the collection and copy at least one of the images from the update to a non-persistent memory. The images in non-persistent memory may not exceed a maximum threshold. In response to the computing device changing from inactive to active, the computing device may display an image from non-persistent memory as a background image on the computing device. In further response to a minimum threshold number of images in non-persistent memory, the computing device may copy at least one of the new images to non-persistent memory.
