OpenAI Sora is now on Android: what’s new, where it works, and why creators care

OpenAI has brought its video-generation app, Sora, to Android, following last month’s iOS release. The app is live on the Google Play Store and is rolling out in Canada, Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam, and the United States. That means millions of Android users can finally experiment with AI-assisted video creation on their phones – without a desktop workflow.

Sora turns ideas into short videos from either text prompts or paired images. You can choose from multiple visual styles, iterate on drafts, and refine scenes, then publish or download results. Collaboration is built in: teammates can co-edit, you can remix other people’s public creations, and a community feed makes it easy to discover trends and learn prompt techniques from real examples.

For newcomers, the flow is straightforward: describe what you want to see, optionally add a reference image, pick a style, and generate. If the first cut isn’t perfect, tweak the prompt, swap styles, or start a remix from someone else’s clip. Sora’s community layer turns experimentation into a feedback loop, surfacing clever prompts and creative uses across animation, product demos, micro-ads, social posts, and classroom explainers.

OpenAI also says that, in select regions, Sora no longer requires an invite code – so people there can start creating right away. Availability still matters: only users in supported countries can download the app for now, with more markets likely to follow. If you’re in Canada, Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam, or the US, you can grab Sora on Google Play and begin testing how far text-to-video has come – whether you’re a solo creator, a marketer looking to mock up concepts, or a teacher turning lesson plans into quick visuals.
