I am out of storage on my iPhone. Most of it is music (20 gbs). I signed up for increased iCloud storage and turned on the sync for music.
But nothing ever happens. No music files are ever stored on the icloud.
What am I missing. iCloud is extremely hard to use.

Thanks. Guess I don’t need the iCloud storage upgrade since it doesn’t solve my problem. It’ll save me some $$.
What did work is to delete my music downloads, free up space, install the iOS update and the re-down load all the music files.
Seems like Apple updates could install more efficiently if they did not require enormous temporary storage for the download.
iCloud Music does not work that way.
iCloud music matches music from a computer to the Apple Music catalog and makes it available to other devices. It does not remove music from an iOS device nor does it move it to iCloud.
Nothing will happen from your iPhone by turning on iCloud Music there only.
Apple Music won't sync with iCloud
