The difference is that the design was streamlined and iconic enough to be timeless and become the football design in public mind.

WhatsApp is a Meta company. They are doing worse than pushing emoji on you
Why would anyone use WhatsApp when there’s Signal?
Because most of the world is already on WhatsApp, and changing to Signal would isolate you from most people and businesses.

Sounds great - if I wasn't already using Signal, that just might persuade me 😁
The only people that believe I'm worth contacting have already switched to Signal and the ones that refused to switch lost contact with me. Their loss I guess.
I could move to Signal, open up a chat with myself and chat for a while but I think it would get pretty boring pretty soon.
I thought people on here of all places would understand the impact of the network effect.
because it's the de facto sms replacement in many european and south american countries
Because in my country historically the telecom companies are charging 0.30€ per SMS (text) and 2€ per MMS (text with photo).
So WhatsApp when they launched with their "1€/lifetime" offer on the iPhone 3GS they were the right app at the right time and became the de facto replacement for any kind of messaging. It's insane how basically overnight they replaced msn messenger and Skype because it was so convenient (Microsoft never did a smartphone client for msn messenger, only unofficial ones. It was available on dumbphones but it used SMS from the plan to send/receive, nobody used it because you needed to be a millionaire to afford it)
SMS now in my country is only for receiving OTP codes, for the rest is WhatsApp, because still in 2026 the telecoms are still charging 2€ for each MMS sent and nobody wants to risk huge bills. This includes iMessage because if a chat suddenly goes green and you didn't notice, it costs dozens of euro
Ah the joys of still using Meta shit products.
Well there's your problem. You're using messenger and emojis.
I can't find that shit on Signal 🤷♂️
Man, until I read the text, I thought this was about these old 45 record inserts.

What is the point of these, and their shape
It allows one to play 45 rpm records, which have a big hole in the middle, on the turntable most people had at home which was designed for 33 ⅓ rpm records, which have a small hole. The shape forms a gentle spring to create tension inside the 45.
Why are you using meta WhatsApp? The fuck?
I switched off an my parents, grandparents and siblings all switched to signal with me.
I'm not saying everyone can or will, but it may be easier that we think.
In many parts of the world Whatsapp is the dominate communication platform. My landlord sends me my utility bills through WhatsApp, as is my doctor's scheduling platform, and my vet's contact info, etc. It's basically impossible to do things without it.

FIFA ball does not look happy
Dammmmn, that's an ugly ball. Let's call it the Curseball Games insted.
(Fun thing: The football you usually see in emojis is also based on an official World Cup ball, but at least that one's a classic for a reason. Looks distinctive. Looks cool. Can't say the same for most of the recent ones, it's all a blur to me!)
As someone that knows nothing about sports what an I even looking at here and why are people upset about it? All I see are balls and ball accessories.
FIFA corruption cup soccer ball by Adidas
The RGB one with the "snakes" on it?
It's about a hunnert billionaires banding together...c'mon we can take 'em all down! Let's Robin Hood all those motherfuckers!
Why is there a lime green baseball?
