OpenAI’s Sora 2 isn’t just an upgrade — it’s a leap forward in AI-generated video and sound. With cinematic visuals, realistic physics, stylized rendering, synchronized dialogue, and motion control, Sora 2 turns text prompts into short, stunning video scenes.
To support this evolution, OpenAI launched a dedicated Sora app, letting users generate, remix, and share AI-driven video content. But if you're wondering whether you can access it now — and on what device — the answer depends on where you are and what phone you use.
Here’s the latest availability breakdown as of late 2025.
✅ Available in United States and Canada
❌ Unavailable in the UK, EU, Asia, Australia, and most of the world (for now)
✅ iOS supported
❌ Android not yet supported
| Region | Status | Details |
|---|---|---|
| United States | ✅ Supported | Full rollout of Sora 2 via the iOS app is underway. Users can request invites to join. |
| Canada | ✅ Supported | Same launch model and availability as the U.S. |
| Other Countries (UK, EU, Asia, etc.) | ❌ Not supported | OpenAI has confirmed that the current version is only available in U.S. and Canada. |
OpenAI stated:
“We’re starting the initial rollout in the U.S. and Canada today … with the intent to quickly expand to additional countries.”
While global users are eagerly waiting, OpenAI appears to be using this two-country soft launch to fine-tune the model, rollout, and content moderation systems before scaling.
Supported at launch
The Sora app is currently exclusive to iOS devices.
Available for download on the Apple App Store — only visible in the U.S. and Canadian regions.
Users can sign up for invite access after installing the app.
The app allows:
Generating 10s clips with Sora 2
Adding voiceovers and effects
Remixing or inserting yourself into AI-generated scenes
Not available yet
OpenAI has confirmed Android support is planned, but has not provided a release date.
Android users currently cannot access the app, nor sideload it from iOS.
Android access is a key request in user forums, and OpenAI has acknowledged demand.
Users with an invite can also log in at sora.com to use the web interface.
Web access is available on desktops or laptops and may offer more advanced tools and deeper UI features over time (e.g., for power users or Pro accounts).
Sora 2 is not open to the public, even in supported regions.
✅ Invite-Only Access: You must receive an invite from OpenAI to use the app or website.
🎟️ Some users with early access may be granted referral codes to invite friends.
💵 Free for now: OpenAI has made it free during initial rollout, though generation capacity is limited by compute quotas.
💡 Future Tiers Expected: OpenAI is expected to introduce usage-based pricing or Pro tiers in upcoming updates.
Here’s what OpenAI has planned next:
| Upcoming Feature | Status |
|---|---|
| 🌍 More Country Support | Confirmed, but no specific timeline. Regions like the UK, India, and EU are likely next. |
| 🤖 Android App Release | Planned, in development. |
| 🧩 API Access | Aimed at developers and creators. Will allow embedding Sora’s capabilities into other apps and platforms. |
| 🔓 Expanded Input Types | Over time, users may be able to upload reference videos, avatars, or even record custom voice. |
Sora 2 represents one of the most advanced multimodal AI tools ever released. But like many of OpenAI’s innovations, access is rolling out gradually and selectively — with a clear focus on stability, compliance, and safety.
If you're in the U.S. or Canada and use an iPhone, you're in luck — download the app, sign up, and wait for your invite. If you're elsewhere or on Android, stay tuned — expansion is on the horizon.
