You cannot increase the storage of an iPhone.
Settings > [your name] > iCloud Tap Photos > Choose Optimize [device] Storage --> Set up and use iCloud Photos - Apple Support
You may buy iCloud Storage. --> Buy more iCloud storage - Apple Support
Before you buy more iCloud storage see if you can manage your existing storage --> Manage your photo and video storage - Apple Support
