How to Recover Lost QQ Friends Information from iPhone

I updated my iPhone to iOS 10.3 lately and found out my QQ application is acting a little bit up. I can see all the conversations for no problem but the contacts are gone. The profile picture in every conversation is blank. I’m not sure it’s a iOS incompatibility or something wrong with the updating. Any idea how to get the contacts back?
