How do I activate the iCloud storage I have purchased?

What do you mean by "does not appear to populate the icloud storage"?

What data are you trying to store (if I understand you) in icloud?

If you mean that the icloud info or storage does not show the newly purchased storage, give it a little time for the servers to catch up.

It been 2 days i purchased th eicloud storage, it's still not reflecting in my iphone 5s. Whom shall i reach now?

There's nothing to activate (assuming you already purchased the extra storage). Just use it.

Prinyers, I have exactly the same problem here, I purchased extra storage, but my phone fills up and I still have 14.8 gb out of 15 gb available on the cloud...? How do I use it??? I am at a total loss. I am getting tired of trying to decided which apps to remove so I can get more space. If I have this storage WHERE IS IT? Somebody help please! I purchased this "extra storage" over a year ago, so I am very confused on why I bought it when it doesn't really store anything and free up my phone. I am not claiming to be an iPhone expert here AT ALL lol I need help this is getting so frustrating!

The following is from this Apple document: iCloud: iCloud storage and backup overview

What iCloud backs up

You have important information on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. iCloud automatically backs up your device over Wi-Fi every day while it’s turned on, locked, and connected to a power source. With your device information backed up in iCloud, you can easily set up a new device or restore information on one you already have.

Here’s what iCloud backs up:

• Purchase history for music, movies, TV shows, apps, and booksYour iCloud backup includes information about the content you have purchased, but not the purchased content itself. When you restore from an iCloud backup, your purchased content is automatically downloaded from the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store. Some types of content aren’t downloaded automatically in all countries, and previous purchases may be unavailable if they have been refunded or are no longer available in the store. For more information, see the Apple Support article iTunes in the Cloud availability by country. Some types of content aren’t available in all countries. For more information, see the Apple Support article Which types of items can I buy in my country?.
• Photos and videos in your Camera Roll
• Device settings
• App data
• Home screen and app organization
• iMessage, text (SMS), and MMS messages
• Ringtones
• Visual Voicemail

It does'nt increase the storage capability of your mobile device.
