const client = new TelegramClient(session, apiId, apiHash, {});

(async function run() {
  await client.connect(); // This assumes you have already authenticated with .start()

  const result = await client.invoke(
    new Api.photos.UpdateProfilePhoto({
      id: new Api.InputPhoto({
        id: BigInt("-4156887774564"),

      }),
    })
  );
  console.log(result); // prints the result
