The EU has designated Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, ByteDance, Meta and Microsoft as the first 6 companies as "gatekeepers" under the new Digital Markets Act.
They have also designated 22 core platform services as part of the DMA definition & thus companies will have 6 months to comply with the new regulations.
EU has also launched market investigations into seeing whether to include Apple's iMessage & Microsoft's Bing search engine into the definition of "gatekeeper". Further, it will also assess if Apple's iPadOS operating system also meets the definition.

These are the first 6 companies designated as ‘gatekeepers' under the Digital Markets Act.
They have 6 months to ensure their core platform services comply with our rules, including:
✔ Allowing users to unsubscribe and remove pre-installed services
✔ Allowing the download of alternative app stores
❌ Banning tracking outside of their services without consent
❌ Stopping ranking their products more favourably
