Okay fam, big update — Sora’s finally on Android.

Yup, OpenAI just dropped its viral AI video app across the U.S., Canada, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam for Android users!

This means one thing: everyone’s about to start making way too many AI videos of themselves doing ridiculous stuff.

And remember when it hit iOS back in September? It blew up — Sora went from zero to 1 million downloads in a week. Now that it’s hit Google Play? Yeah… expect that number to skyrocket.

And get this: the Android version packs everything the iOS one did — from wild text-to-video creation to its signature “Cameos” feature, where you can literally star in your own AI-generated clips doing pretty much anything.

Think “deepfake TikTok,” but… hopefully less cursed.

Speaking of curses — Sora’s already faced some heat. Because, of course, the internet did what the internet does best.

People started uploading questionable deepfakes — including disrespectful videos of Martin Luther King Jr. — which forced OpenAI to pause the feature and tighten guardrails.

They also had to tweak copyright rules after the SpongeBob and Pikachu fiasco, switching from an “opt-out” to an “opt-in” system for rights holders.

And as if that wasn’t enough drama — they’re in a legal spat with the real Cameo app over the feature name.

Still, OpenAI’s not slowing down. They’ve rolled out character cameos, pet videos, object animations, and even basic editing tools so you can stitch clips together on the fly.

Basically, they’re turning Sora into a mini AI movie studio — complete with social feeds.

Bottom line?

Sora’s Android launch isn’t just another app update — it’s OpenAI planting a flag in short-form video land.

And if you’re not already experimenting with it… you’re officially behind. 😏
