Abstract
A computer-implemented method for delaying synchronization of a computing device is disclosed according to one aspect of the subject technology. The method comprises receiving an update notification at the computing device, determining whether the computing device is idle, and, if the computing device is idle, then delaying retrieval of synchronization information corresponding to the update notification. The method also comprises determining whether a user has started using the computing device, and, if the user has started using the computing device, then retrieving the synchronization information corresponding to the update notification.
