Sora is now available on Android in the US, Canada, and other regions
Sora, OpenAI’s AI video generator, is now officially available for Android users in the US, Canada, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam.
Initially launched as an iOS app in September, Sora quickly climbed to the top of the App Store charts, with more than 1 million downloads in a week. With its arrival on the Google Play Store, Sora is expected to attract a larger user base, which will likely result in an increase in downloads.
The Android version retains all the features of its iOS counterpart, including the “Cameos” feature, which allows users to create videos of themselves performing various activities with their own likeness.
The videos can be shared in a feed reminiscent of TikTok, allowing users to discover and interact with content from others. This appears to be a strategic move by OpenAI to strengthen its position in the competitive landscape of short video sharing. The AI giant wants to compete with big players like Meta, which recently launched its own AI video feed called Vibes, as well as existing platforms like TikTok and Instagram.

However, the app has been criticized for its handling of deepfakes. After the initial launch, users began uploading disrespectful videos of historical figures, including Martin Luther King Jr. Sora last month generated content featuring Dr. King is shown paused and the guardrails reinforced.
The company has also recently addressed the backlash surrounding copyrighted characters such as SpongeBob and Pikachu by changing his policies for the Sora app from an ‘opt-out’ approach to an ‘opt-in’ system for rights holders.
Moreover, it is currently involved in one legal dispute with famous video maker Cameo on the name of Sora’s flagship, ‘Cameo’.
Looking ahead, OpenAI plans to introduce additional features to Sora. These include character cameoswhich allows users to create AI-generated videos featuring their pets and inanimate objects. There will also be basic video editing tools, including the ability to stitch multiple clips together. Sora also plans to help users customize their social feeds, focusing on content from select individuals rather than a large audience.
