Understanding the Use of Contacts in Telegram
One of the essential elements that we need to be clear about before talking about how to delete contacts is to understand the use and purpose of contacts in Telegram. Just like any other messaging app, you need to have people in your contacts to be able to communicate with them.
Telegram automatically syncs your phone contacts with your Telegram account, allowing you to find and chat with your friends and family who also use Telegram. However, this can result in a fairly large contact list if you have a lot of phone numbers on your device.

Before you can delete a contact, you first need to know how to access your contact list on Telegram. The process may vary slightly depending on whether you are using Telegram on an Android, iOS device, or on a PC.
