Here are some possible solutions to try:

Check if Siri is enabled:

Go to Settings > Siri & Search.
Ensure that 'Listen for "Hey Siri"' and 'Press Side Button for Siri' are toggled on.

2. Make sure the iPhone XR is running the latest iOS version:

Go to Settings > General > Software Update.
If an update is available, follow the on-screen instructions to download and install it.

Please let me know if that works!
