OpenAI lists support for the US, Canada, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam. Availability can roll out in stages by market, so updates may arrive on a different schedule for each region.
If you used Sora on iOS, your account, follows, and feed carry over once you sign in on Android. You can browse, generate, and remix without starting from scratch.

What’s Actually New: Character Cameos, Stitching, And A Creator Feed
Sora 2 adds character cameos. You can turn a person, pet, or prop into a reusable avatar with privacy controls, then drop that “character” into new scenes.
There is also video stitching so you can chain clips into simple narratives, plus a TikTok-style feed and leaderboards that surface popular videos and characters.
Free vs Paid On Android: How Sora 2 Pricing Works
Sora still offers free generations, but OpenAI has begun paid top-ups and plans to reduce free allotments over time. Power users can buy 10 extra generations for $4, with usage varying by clip settings.
“We are launching the ability to buy extra gens in Sora today.” — Bill Peebles, Head of Sora, OpenAI
OpenAI has signaled a move toward sustainable operations, including options for rights-holders to monetize certain cameos and characters as the ecosystem matures.
Running Sora for free at this scale is “completely unsustainable.” — OpenAI
Step-By-Step: How To Download Sora 2 On Android
Follow these steps if you are in a supported country.
- Open Google Play on your Android phone.
- Search for “Sora by OpenAI”. Confirm the publisher is OpenAI.
- Tap Install, then Open when it finishes.
- Sign in with your OpenAI account or create one in the app.
- When prompted, allow camera, microphone, and storage only if you plan to use those features.
- In Settings → Cameos, pick Private, Followers, or Public for each character.
- Start with a short prompt, generate, then use Remix or Stitching to extend your clip.
- If you hit the daily limit, consider a $4 / 10 gens add-on or wait for resets.
Tip: Avoid third-party clones. Always install from Google Play and verify the OpenAI publisher name.
Safety And Rights: Controls Worth Turning On First
Set cameo permissions before sharing. If you use a real person, get consent and label the content clearly. Keep reference videos and images clean to avoid unwanted transfer into generations.
If you manage brand assets, review rights-holder options and the platform’s enforcement tools so your team can set guardrails before any campaign work.
Conclusion
Android opens a much larger audience, which means faster feedback and more collaboration. With character re-use and stitching, Sora 2 moves closer to a lightweight video editor that fits short-form workflows.
The next test is quality and cost. If controls, pricing, and exports keep improving, Sora 2 can shift from a viral demo to a dependable production tool for everyday clips.
