Upgrading iOS does not add any storage to your phone; if anything, it may decrease the amount of free storage as software only gets larger, never smaller.


If you mean you added iCloud storage, that is for syncing and backing up. It doesn’t add any capacity to your phone. Here is a link to an explanation→What's the difference between device storage and iCloud storage? - Apple Support
