If you have a MS Windows based computer with the latest version of iTunes, then you can 👉 use that computer to update your iPhone XR.

The issue is that your screen is not functional. This will prevent you from updating your iPhone because you will have to enter your passcode and approve the computer connection on your iPhone. If you want to continue to use and update your iPhone XR, then I recommend that you get the screen repaired.
