Cannot set reminders with Siri. Siri says I need to d/l an app first

Whenever I try to set a reminder with Siri, I get the following response: "I don't see an app for that. You'll need to download one." I'm fairly certain that it's due to some setting that I changed myself without realizing the repercussions. I'm pretty sure that I used this feature at least once when I got my iPhone just a few months ago. I only noticed that I was not able to set reminders with Siri when I tried to set one today and got the above error message... Can someone please help me figure this out? Thanks in advance!

iPhone 8 Plus, iOS 13

Thank you for trying to help, but I think you misunderstood the problem I am having. Whenever I ask Siri to schedule a reminder for me, Siri gives me the following response: "I don't see an app for that. You'll need to download one." It's very frustrating because I am pretty sure that this feature worked right out of the box. I must have changed a setting somewhere that has somehow disabled the ability for Siri to set reminders for me...

Using Spotlight. search your Home Screens for the Reminders app, maybe you have deleted the app.

If you did, you need to re-download the app.

You can ask Siri to schedule a reminder for you, on your iOS device.

* Siri uses Location Services when your reminder needs to use your location. Siri availability varies by language, country, and region. Learn which Siri features are supported in which countries and regions.
