1. Check with Apple

The first tip we would like to suggest you to do is checking with your Apple support team to know if there is any problem about iCloud server. In case there's a problem with the server, iCloud storage might not show up on purchasing. You can also check Apple System Status. This website shows which server or system is in maintenance.

2. Sign Out of iCloud and Sign Back In

If still iCloud storage isn't showing up after you purchase more storage, sign out of your iCloud and then sign back in again. We hope this will work. The steps are:
  • Open 'settings' and tap on Apple ID located at the top.
  • Now, scroll down to 'Sign Out' and tap on it.
  • Enter the Apple ID password after that. Hit on 'Turn Off' now and start sliding the toggle the buttons beside the data types that you want to keep in your iPhone.
  • Lastly hit on 'Sign out' and confirm it.
