I bought more storage but it says that I don’t have enough storage and it’s showing up that I bought it but it won’t let me do certain things on my phone without saying storage is full what do I do?

I don’t know what to do. I bought more storage but it says storage full and it shows me that I have a lot of storage left but it won’t let me download apps or take pictures.So what do I do?

You don't have more storage on your phone if you buy more iCloud storage.

iCloud storage is not the same as storage on your iPhone.

You can’t buy more storage on your phone itself but here are two links that can help you to free up storage on your phone:

Optimizing photo storage on your iPhone can help a lot
