AI video creator Sora's big leap forward

Sora, the artificial intelligence (AI)-powered video creator from tech company OpenAI, is now officially available for Android users in the US, Canada, Japan, South Korea, and several other markets.

Initially launched as an iOS app in September 2025, Sora quickly rose to the top of the App Store's most downloaded apps chart, achieving over 1 million downloads in just one week.

With its presence on the Google Play Store, Sora is expected to attract a larger user base, leading to a surge in downloads.

The Android version of Sora retains all the features of the iOS version, including the Cameos feature, which allows users to create videos of themselves performing various activities using their own images.

Videos can be shared in a section similar to the short video sharing platform 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 fiercely competitive landscape of short-form video sharing.

OpenAI aims to compete with major rivals 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 faced criticism for its handling of deepfake technology – which uses AI to create fake images, videos and audio to mimic someone else's voice and face.

After its initial launch, users began uploading videos that disrespected historical figures, including Reverend Martin Luther King Jr.

So Sora paused creating content depicting Martin Luther King Jr. last month and stepped up its protections.

Additionally, OpenAI is embroiled in a legal dispute with popular video maker Cameo over the name “Cameo” – Sora’s flagship feature.

In the future, OpenAI plans to add more features to Sora.

These features include cameos, which allow users to create AI-generated videos featuring their pets and inanimate objects.

Basic video editing tools are also being developed, including the ability to stitch multiple clips together.

Sora also plans to help users customize their social media feeds, focusing on content from select individuals rather than a large audience./.
