If you are out of space in iCloud, you can certainly increase the space on iCloud, but that is for backups only. If you are low in storage on your iPhone itself, there is no way to add memory to it. Buying iCloud storage will not add space to your phone. So, if you are low in memory, the only way to get space back is to delete things off your phone you don't need or use, like Apps, Music, Photos, Messages, Email, Files, etc.

Next time you purchase an iPhone, make sure you buy one with more memory than you think you need. Once purchased, it can never be increased.
