Is He Ghosting Me? He would be online and send me pictures sometimes, but rarely respond back?

I am sure he is, but not so sure. I've known this guy for a year now and we used to talk daily. The last time I've hung out with him was almost 2 weeks ago, but I've noticed he is becoming distant. After we hung out, we remained in touch until a week ago, he become distant.
For example, I'd send him messages or memes, he would just read it. Yesterday, he shared a reel on IG and a selfie back on Monday. There were a few times I'd ask him a question and he would just read it without responding. This early morning, I received a Snapchat from him. When I opened it, I could see that he removed the picture but left the surprised emoji. I sent him a question mark cause I was puzzled. He read it an hour later without responding. I haven't said anything to him since this morning since I felt I was bothering him, but... gosh, it hurts. I genuinely care for him, but I sensed that he is not wanting to keep in touch with me much longer.
I know he told me that he dislikes social media but has no problem being online or having his active status hidden. I also noticed that he has removed one of the pictures of us taken back at the Halloween party off his IG. I didn't bother asking cause I didn't want to appear nosey. The last time we hung out, he did mention that we should go hiking next time when it's warmer out and I agreed. He also hugged me and told me to let him know when I got home. He is currently in school and I knew he had exams to take, but I figured he had already taken them. Why would he leave me on reading or just delete the pictures shortly after sending them? I'm confused.
