Overview
- The Android release is live on Google Play in the United States, Canada, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam.
- Appfigures estimates roughly 470,000 installs on day one across the supported markets, far outpacing the iOS debut’s first-day uptake.
- OpenAI has temporarily waived invite codes in the US, Canada, Japan and South Korea, while other regions may still require invites.
- Sora generates hyperreal videos from text or images and features a TikTok-like feed, remixing tools and Cameos that use a short video and voice sample, with controls to revoke likeness use.
- OpenAI has tightened guardrails, paused depictions of Martin Luther King Jr., shifted copyrighted characters to an opt‑in model for rights holders, and enforces daily generation limits with paid add‑ons, as legal and industry pushback continues including a naming dispute with Cameo.
