Are you supposed to squat with your feet straight or turned out?

Question

I keep seeing people squat with their feet pointing almost completely straight, while others have their toes turned noticeably outward.

Is one actually better, or does it just depend on your anatomy and what feels comfortable?

I’ve been trying to improve my squat form and honestly can’t figure out which stance I’m supposed to be using 😭

How do you position your feet when you squat?
