Buying iCloud space doesn't increase the storage size on your phone, your phone's storage is a fixed size. If you can't update because you're out of room on your phone, you're going to have to delete stuff to make room.

Here are some helpful articles that can guide you on how to free up storage space on your phone.

50GB. Not 50MB.


New iCloud Sessions:

Log out of iCloud on all of your devices, and then log back in. Perhaps it all needs to re-sync?
