How to Fax a Prescription from iPhone 16 Plus: Step-by-Step

  1. 1

    Download TigerFax

    Install TigerFax from the App Store on your iPhone 16 Plus. It's free to start — no credit card required.

    💡 Tip: TigerFax is optimized for iOS 18 and works on all iPhones running iOS 15 or later.

  2. 2

    Scan your Prescription with iPhone 16 Plus

    Open TigerFax and tap the camera icon. Position your iPhone 16 Plus about 12 inches above the Prescription and let the auto-capture detect the edges. The iPhone 16 Plus's large screen makes it easy to verify document quality before sending. Zoom in on the preview to check that all text is legible before tapping Send.

  3. 3

    Upload your Prescription from iPhone 16 Plus

    Alternatively, tap the upload icon to import your Prescription from Files, iCloud Drive, or any connected cloud storage. The larger screen on iPhone 16 Plus makes navigating the Files app and selecting documents more comfortable, especially for multi-page documents.

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

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