Under the DMA, gatekeepers like Apple will be required to:

  • Allow users to sideload apps directly from the internet and from third-party stores.
  • Make services such as voice and video calling and messaging interoperable with third-party services.
  • Allow app developers to offer third-party payments systems.
  • Make sure all apps can be uninstalled.
  • Allow users the option to change the default voice assistant.
  • Give developers access to hardware features like near-field communication technology, secure elements and processors, authentication mechanisms, and the software used to control those technologies.
  • Share data and metrics such as ads and marketing performance data with developers and competitors.
