There is no Apple fax app — Apple has never built one. But you absolutely can fax from an iPhone using third-party apps. We tested every major option so you don't have to: here's what actually works in 2026.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Apple have its own fax app?
No. Apple has never released a dedicated fax app, and iOS has no built-in fax capability as of 2026. To send or receive faxes on an iPhone, you need a third-party app from the App Store — mFax is the top-rated option with over 5 million users.
What is the best fax app for iPhone in 2026?
mFax is the top pick for most iPhone users — 4.8-star App Store rating, 5M+ users, 98% delivery success rate, and no hidden weekly fees. For HIPAA compliance, Fax.Plus is the strongest choice.
Can I send a fax for free from my iPhone?
Yes. FaxBurner offers a permanent free tier with 5 send pages and 25 receive pages per month. Fax.Plus has a free plan with 100 pages/month. mFax offers pay-per-fax pricing so you only pay when you actually send.
Do fax apps on iPhone work with iCloud?
Several do. FaxFlow has native iCloud Drive integration. mFax supports uploading documents from iCloud. Most major apps also connect to Google Drive and Dropbox as alternatives.
Is it safe to fax medical records from an iPhone?
Yes, with the right app. Look for 256-bit AES encryption, TLS in transit, and HIPAA compliance with a Business Associate Agreement. Fax.Plus and mFax Business both meet this standard for healthcare use.
