A comment on Telegram publishes users' locations online.

After going into the 'People nearby' I do not see any option to disable. I do see 'Make myself visible' option and a list of nearby users. (on iPhone)

I wonder if this will be sufficient?

Your location will be shared on the map if you make yourself visible. Otherwise, you're safe. Disable location sharing for the whole app.
