Do recovery contact(s) have to be apple users or can android devices be used by the recovery contact(s)?

I’m the only apple product user in my immediate family and only own one apple product (phone), so am I still able to set up a recovery contact with family members who are not apple users?

iPhone 11, iOS 17

The recovery contact must have an iPhone, iPad or a Mac. See the following from Set up an account recovery contact - Apple Support


Your contacts will need an iOS device with iOS 15 or iPadOS 15 or later, or Mac with macOS Monterey or later, and must meet the minimum requirements
