Where Is Sora Now Available on Android?
Sora is now available on Android in the US, Canada, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam. Users can download it directly from the Google Play Store. The Android experience mirrors iOS, including the popular Cameos tool that lets users generate AI videos of themselves in realistic scenes. This wider rollout positions OpenAI to compete with short-form video platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and Meta’s Vibes.
What New Features Come With Sora on Android?
The Sora Android release supports AI self-cameos, video generation, and a TikTok-style social feed where users can browse and share content. Upcoming features include character cameos (pets, objects), basic editing tools, and multi-clip stitching. These improvements aim to make Sora a more versatile video creation hub within smartphones.
How Is Sora Handling Copyright and Deepfakes?
The launch follows criticism over deepfake misuse, including inappropriate videos of historical figures like Martin Luther King Jr. OpenAI has updated protections and paused MLK content generation. In addition, rights-holder rules have shifted from opt-out to opt-in, addressing the use of copyrighted characters such as SpongeBob and Pikachu. OpenAI is also in a trademark dispute with Cameo over the “Cameos” name.
