Why does my iPhone say I only have 5GB of data?

I bought my phone like seven months ago, and I’m just now realizing that it says that I only have 5GB of data, but I bought the phone to have 256GB. So why does it say I only have 5?User uploaded file

The 5GB is your free iCloud storage from Apple and you have used 4.5 GB.

To see what you have on iPhone:
