    Facebook and WhatsApp are both owned by Meta – why on Earth do they use two different emoji fonts?

      Facebook and WhatsApp were separate apps until Facebook bought WhatsApp. That’s why there’s so much difference in the design language, functionality, etc.

        You can see the difference between the Apple and WhatsApp version. And I have Whatsapp installed on Android and it looks the same as the WhatsApp Emoji in the picture.

        So it doesn’t use the System Style, WhatsApp has its own IOS looking emojis.

        Meta is the name of the company. Facebook is the product made by the company. I acknowledged that in the comment you’re replying to.
