Apple Music won't sync with iCloud

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.
