when it comes to the FBI and Apple's iPhone hacking drama we're left with more questions than answers I'm Bridget Carey this is your cnet update the legal battle between Apple and the FBI may be over for now but there are many questions left unanswered in a court filing the US Department of Justice said it no longer needs apples help to break into the iphone 5c used by terrorists Syed Farook and that the FBI was able to get the data off that iphone with the help of a third-party the FBI was seeking a court order that would force Apple to create a back door to access that locked iphone but now the FBI is saying well nevermind we don't need to continue this battle in court we did it ourselves but the FBI is keeping tight-lipped and not answering any questions about this supposed hack how did they hack into the iphone what data did they get off the phone who was the third party that helped will they even tell Apple how they did it or will this hack work on other iphones we get no answers and no proof that it ever even happened other than the court statement and consumers are left wondering how good is Apple's security if it could be bypassed so comforting right and that's not the only drama in the tech world Instagram users are up in arms over changes coming to the social network but some popular accounts are spreading panic and wrong information here's what you need to know Instagram which is owned by Facebook is going to change the feed to be more like Facebook so instead of always seen the most recent post up top you may see the post that the algorithm thinks you care more about first so it'll no longer be in chronological order but unlike with some accounts are warning the change is not in effect yet Instagram says there are weeks or months of testing to do before it rolls out and popular users are panicking because maybe you may miss their posts heaven forbid their urging users to turn on push notifications right away so you'll never miss their post but to get a ding every time someone posts a photo yeah that sounds awfully annoying Instagram says you will still see all of your posts but they will just be in a different order so you don't have to worry in fact you may just want to chill out and distract yourself with a new social app arriving this week Nintendo's first mobile app me tomo is landing in the US and several other countries on thursday you create a meet character and use it to socialize with other Me's it's available on Apple and Android app stores that does it for this tech news roundup but there's always more to explore at cnet com from our studios in New York I'm Bridget Carey
