I think it’s a jock if you’ve enabled on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Auto backup as well Mail, iCloud Photo, Whatsapp backup, and moreover, your purchased items like Music, Movie, Books don’t count against free storage. Therefore definitely 5 GB Storage has nothing right.

→You guys: Keep remembers, buying more iCloud storage Online means, it doesn’t expand the capacity of your phone.
