iCloud+ storage not updating on new phone but did update on old phone

wife's phone running out of iCloud storage so husband added iCloud+ and invited wife as family. husband's phone and wife's old phone recognize the increased storage but wife's new 16e does not (she is transitioning phones). 16e does show she is a family member and when clicking on the invite she is already accepted.


However the 16e does not indicate the increased storage.


Can you help?

Upgrading iCloud:


For thought...

Download All of iCloud:

Save a Few: If you wanted to, rather than upgrading your iCloud+ plan, you could export all of iCloud onto an external disk, trash iCloud storage, and then start iCloud anew.  Read my User Tip for moreGetting a Quick and Direct "iCloud Drive-to-External Hard Drive" Download - User Tip
