Buying icloud storage does not increase storage on the phone. Go to settings/general/usage and it will tell you how much your phone started with and how much storage is left on it. If you do not have enough you will need to delete something from your phone

You probably already got help after all this time, but I will reply just in case, or for others with this problem. The "other" that is taking up all your storage on either your iPhone or your iPad is your cache from Safari. Go to "Settings" then "Safari" and scroll down towards the bottom to "Clear History and Website Data". That should free up a lot of space :-)
