It sounds like you are confused between iCloud storage and storage on your iPhone.


The storage on your iPhone is fixed.....it cannot be increased. If you are receiving messages that there is not enough storage on your phone, then the only solution will be to delete apps, photos, music, messages, etc to create more room.


iCloud storage is for the backups of your phone. Details here:
