I tried to like Jami, but it never worked right when I tried it. I didn't find a decent Android Tox client with video call, but it should work alright for text.

Is there a privacy-friendly site to upload an image with someone that can be deleted later?
Options are limited. All modern messengers require trust in the company running the server they connect to. So the only way to eliminate needing that trust is to use a messenger that is peer 2 peer (no server). This is limiting though since no server means no offline messaging. I know of one messenger that is encrypted, anonymous (required no identifying info to sign up) and is peer 2 peer. tox.chat

Daily General Discussion - February 22, 2023
Berty is an open source, secure, private, censorship resilient messaging protocol. Berty is designed to work with NO internet connection. Thanks to Bluetooth LE and mDNS, messages can be securely and privately relayed, peer to peer to create an adhoc network. Of course old fashioned networks still work, and if you’re connected to a “hostile” network that’s being surveilled, the Berty protocol can still operate safely and securely thanks to e2e encryption. Super nice!
