There's another important feature here, too—your friends don't need to have the app installed to see what you're sending to them. They do, however, need to be on iMessage—this isn't something that's going to work on Android (you can't even jump to the web to view the message).
Take your photo, set a timer, choose a contact.

There is, of course, a premium subscription available: Pay $7.99 a month or $39.99 a year, and you get extra features like screenshot blocking and photo replays.
There's very little in the way of settings and options here; Explode is designed to be as straightforward as possible. There is a history page where you can view pixelated versions of the images you've sent, and check up on who's viewed them, but that's it outside of the main photo-taking capabilities.
Explode will show live activity, if you let it.

Disappearing photos are nothing new: It's what Snapchat is built on, and it's something you can do in apps like WhatsApp, Signal, and Instagram. However, the simplicity of Explode has a certain appeal, because there's nothing else to the app at all—and no need to nag your friends to download the app as well. But then, if it continues to be successful, I wouldn't be surprised to see a host of extra features start to be bolted on.
