#Why

Hi @wraith charm. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
The knowledge sources indicate that Sora has been discontinued as a product, which explains why the app no longer works and may not appear in the app store.
OpenAI’s official guidance states:
- “The Sora web and app experiences were discontinued on April 26, 2026.”
- After discontinuation (and any final export window), “we will permanently delete any data associated with your use of Sora.” [Sora discontinuation]
You can still export any content you created in Sora (if you haven’t already) by going to:
- <https://sora.chatgpt.com/sunset> and clicking Export; you’ll receive an email when it’s ready. [Sora discontinuation]
So the “sorry something went wrong” behavior and the app disappearing from the store are consistent with Sora being shut down, not with a temporary error on your device.
Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon:
@wraith charm Kapa.ai is still learning and improving, please let me know how I did by reacting below.
