Can you cover a sphere with (roughly) squares?

In the same way we have hexagons tiling the surface of a sphere, like with Uber's H3, which has 12 pentagons at each of the icosahedron vertices, to make it work. What do you need to be able to recursively cover a sphere with squares (or rough squares, which might be stretched slightly to form parallelograms or otherwise)?

What is the system used to tile a sphere with squares basically? Ideally, when standing on a square, you see it as a square (if at all possible).
