    You bought iCloud storage, not storage space for the device; those are separate, and more iCloud storage won't help directly. You need to follow the instructions in the article you asked this question from.

    The 20 GB is for iCloud stoage only. It does not affect the storage on your phone. You will need to delete something from the phone to free up spacee or do the update through itunes on your computer. Using the computer does not require the same amount of space on the phone.

    Try the 200GB upgrade, see if that works.

    Or, read what iCloud is actually for before buying more storage?
