Bought more iCloud storage and still getting not enough storage message

Bought more iCloud storage, still got message saying not enough. Signed out of Apple account, then signed back in. Most of my photos gone but still saying that I don’t have enough storage…

iPhone 11 Pro, iOS 14

Adding iCloud storage doesn’t provide more local storage.


The iCloud storage provides a place to transfer some of the iPhone contents; the stuff that you don’t want to delete.
