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

qTox unmaintained. Is this the end of qTox?
If you go to https://github.com/qTox/qTox You will see the following: "Due to a lack of resources, qTox is no longer maintained. If someone with provable C++ experience and sufficient resources to maintain qTox wants to take over I'm happy to discuss that." So is someone going to "take over"? I really like qTox & would hate to see it go.

Qtox does all that, even if screen sharing was a bit obscure years ago. Qtox won't work on iOS but there is an Android release. Big advantages: no server required, easy to use, secure, open source.
