How to Fax a Prescription from iPhone 12: Step-by-Step

  1. 1

    Download TigerFax

    Install TigerFax from the App Store on your iPhone 12. It's free to start — no credit card required.

    💡 Tip: TigerFax is optimized for iOS 14+ and works on all iPhones running iOS 15 or later.

  2. 2

    Scan your Prescription with iPhone 12

    Open TigerFax and tap the camera icon. Position your iPhone 12 about 12 inches above the Prescription and let the auto-capture detect the edges. The iPhone 12's Night mode can help when scanning documents in low-light environments. If the auto-capture doesn't trigger, tap the shutter button manually after positioning the document.

  3. 3

    Upload your Prescription from iPhone 12

    Alternatively, tap the upload icon to import your Prescription from Files, iCloud Drive, or any connected cloud storage. iOS 14 on iPhone 12 introduced App Library and improved widget support. You can add a TigerFax widget to your home screen for quick access to your fax history.

    💡 Tip: PDF format preserves Prescription formatting best. If you have a digital copy, upload it instead of scanning for the clearest result.

  4. 4

    Add a confidentiality cover page

    Since Prescriptions contain sensitive information protected under HIPAA and DEA, add a cover page with a confidentiality notice. TigerFax includes built-in cover page templates.

    Enter the recipient's fax number

    Type the recipient's fax number in the To field. For international numbers, include the country code. TigerFax automatically formats the number.
