I keep getting a low storage message even tho I bought more- now what?

Note: iCloud Storage does not increase what you physically have on your iPhone.

The iPhone storage space cannot be extended after purchase.

To make space, you need to delete stuff you don't need or save stuff onto computer before you delete.

Troubleshooting iPhone Storage:

Internal storage cannot be upgraded. It is what it is. So, it will not have changed, even if you upgraded your iCloud plan.

So, what to do:

Clear Space:

Try clearing internal storage though use of the following:

What Space to Clear:

A. Clear Temporary Internet Files:

Clear your Temporary Internet Files(Cookies & Cache) of Safari:

• Cookies perform remembrance of certain site-entered data.
• Cache keeps a snapshot of the last time you visited a site.
• Go Here: Clear the History and Cookies from Safari on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch - Apple Support

B. Clean TV and Music Libraries:

Remove all unneeded files from your TV and Music Libraries. Full-Movies take up 2-4GB typically, and a bunch of those would take up a load of storage, ideally. So, if you have any movies that are not needed, then delete them.

Also..

C. Clear "Other":

Clear the storages named "Other". It basically contains unnecessary files such as caches that are used for system ease of use - all of which gather over time: How to Clear "Other" in your iPhone's Storage - Use Backup - User Tips. Caches would be being used for remembrance of application use. So, clearing other may be the way to go about this, as it would be performs through use of a computer.

You can't buy more storage on your phone, it is a fixed size.
