What you'll need

  • iPhone running iOS 15+
  • TigerFax app (free on the App Store)
  • Your Prescription (physical copy to scan, or a PDF/image file)
  • The recipient's fax number

How to Fax a Prescription from iPhone: Step-by-Step

  1. 1

    Download TigerFax

    Install TigerFax from the App Store on your iPhone. It's free to start — no credit card required.
