Does this message relate to the storage space on your iPhone or iCloud?

Buying more iCloud storage space will not automatically enhance the free storage space on your iPhone.

Or did you subscribe to a new iCloud storage plan and it does not show the new size in the settings for iCloud?

Troubleshooting iPhone Storage:

Internal storage cannot be upgraded. It is what it is. So, the maximum internal storage capacity never increases, even if you upgraded your iCloud plan.


So, what to do...

I just bought the top storage


If you have upgraded iCloud storage, it would take about 1 to 3 business days in order to process.

Once your request for iCloud+ has been activated, you should receive an invoice in your email box.


Then you can check -> Go to -> Settings -> your name -> iCloud -> if you see 50 GB (or 200 GB or 2 TB) then you have an iCloud subscription.

If you have an iCloud subscription, you will receive a monthly bill from Apple, check your email box.

You pay monthly for iCloud storage.
