Storage full error

why would my phone keep kicking me out of apps and when I want to take pics it wont let me and pops up something like storage full. I only have on my phone 32gb but I have purchased 50gb more for that .99 cents. Shouldnt I have like 82gb??? How do I resolve this issue I am having?

I would like you to realize and know one important thing and that is that there is NOTHING that you can do to increase the physical storage capacity of your iPhone. Your iPhone's storage capacity will forever remain the same as the day you bought it.


You have purchased ➔ iCloud Storage from Apple where you can create and save your iPhone backups and synch (Not Store) your Messages, Photos, Contacts, Calendars, Notes and Reminders. Note that iCloud Storage is NOT an extension of storage capacity of your iPhone. Just wanted you to know some facts. Thanks.


The only way you can create space on a full iPhone is to delete the data that you may not need such as media files (Photos, Music and videos).
