My iPhone storage is 128GB and I bought 1TB iCloud yet my storage is still full, what can I do this solve this? I tho iCloud is supposed to give me some space so that I don't have to delete my photos?

Turn on iCloud Photos (settings > Apple ID > iCloud > Photos) and select the 'optimize storage' function. It will take some time, depending on the size of you photo library, but you will see your available phone storage increase.
