OpenAI has brought Sora 2 to the ChatGPT mobile app, making AI video generation possible from anywhere. Here's what you need to know about the mobile experience.
How to Access
Sora 2 is available in the latest version of the ChatGPT app for both iOS and Android. You'll find it in the attachment menu alongside DALL-E image generation.
Mobile vs Desktop
The mobile experience is streamlined but feature-complete. You can: - Generate videos from text prompts - Use image-to-video with your phone's camera - Access your generation history - Share directly to social media
Camera Integration
The standout mobile feature is direct camera integration. Take a photo of anything and instantly animate it with Sora 2. This opens up creative possibilities that desktop users don't have.
Performance
Generation happens on OpenAI's servers, not your device, so phone hardware doesn't affect quality. However, viewing 4K content requires a strong internet connection.
Limitations
- Storyboard mode is not yet available on mobile
- Character Lock requires switching to the web interface
- Video downloads save to your camera roll by default
Tips for Mobile Users
- Use Wi-Fi for generating and downloading — cellular data usage can be significant
- Enable high-quality downloads in settings
- Use Soradown on your mobile browser for watermark-free downloads
