Unless you plan on doing this programmatically, I think you may have asked on the wrong SE website. SuperUser may be a better fit. – Solanum

Answer 1

Another way you could refresh your contacts is: Telegram-Settings-Privacy and Security-Delete synced contacts. This will refresh all your telegram contacts. By the way I have an Android phone, I don't know if it is different on another device
