Sora, OpenAI’s AI video generator, is now officially available for Android users in the United States, Canada, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam.
Originally launched as an iOS app in September, Sora quickly rose to the top of the App Store charts, amassing over a million downloads in a week. With its arrival on the Google Play Store, Sora is expected to attract a wider user base, which will likely lead to an increase in downloads.
The Android version retains all the features of its iOS counterpart, including the “Cameos” feature, which allows users to generate videos of themselves performing various activities using their own image.
Videos can be shared in a feed reminiscent of TikTok, allowing users to discover and interact with each other’s content. This appears to be a strategic move by OpenAI to strengthen its position in the competitive landscape of short-form video sharing. The AI ​​giant aims to compete with major 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 its initial launch, users began uploading disrespectful videos of historical figures, including Martin Luther King Jr. As a result, Sora suspended the generation of content depicting Dr. King last month and strengthened its guardrails.
The company also recently addressed backlash surrounding copyrighted characters, such as SpongeBob and Pikachu, by changing its policy for the Sora app from an “opt-out” approach to an “opt-in” system for rights holders.
Additionally, he is currently embroiled in a legal dispute with popular videographer Cameo over the name of Sora’s flagship feature, “Cameo.”
Looking ahead, OpenAI plans to introduce additional features to Sora. These include character cameos, allowing users to create AI-generated videos featuring their pets and inanimate objects. Basic video editing tools are also on the way, including the ability to stitch multiple clips together. Sora also plans to help users personalize their social feeds, focusing on content from selected individuals rather than a broad audience.
