This feature requires you to press the button that says “make myself visible” — and then it shares location. Like most apps, you can deny the location access at a system level and never worry about it.

It has been a long time since I've used Telegram but why else would I have had that enabled?

The interesting thing is that it does share your location when you open that screen even before you click that button. I don’t know why they did it, but it is definitely a shady thing.
