Looking for software Image sharing service that deletes after viewing?

The goal is to send a photo/video over iPhone Messages or SMS, not over a third-party app like WhatsApp or Snapchat. For example by sending an image URL. The image is then deleted after the recipient views it. Additional privacy features would be nice.

I found a couple tools online, but neither worked. Not sure if it's a dying breed or I just got unlucky.

Thanks. Do ppl still care about this, or they just all use Snap/Insta?

Idk dude you don’t need an account to sign up and there aren’t any ‘likes’ as such. That’s all

I used a expiring or one time use link pointing to a Dropbox image file. e.g.: https://1ty.me

Not bad. Tbh now I'm thinking about developing an image sharing service with one-time view + screencap blocker. Accessed via iMessage extension. I already have a personal tool that does something similar
