Q: iphone storage full but cannot access purchased iCloud storage

My Iphone 5 storage indicates 107mb available and 13.1gb used so I purchased 20gb storage from iCloud but it hasn't affected the storage in Iphone. Is there a technique to get ip[hone to access the iCloud purchased storage. I dont want to delete photos.

Thanks

iPhone 5, iOS 8.3

It won't affect the storage on an iPhone ,it is nothing to do with the storage on an iPhone
iCloud storage is space to store back ups only
Yoiu can use Photo streaming

It's not supposed to. They are not one in the same. If you want to free up storage on your device then delete apps, photos, videos etc...
