Second paragraph :

> If you’ve never heard of this feature and you suddenly feel the urge to delete your Telegram account forever, let me stress something very important: “People Nearby” is opt-in. By default, no one can see how far away you are on Telegram. You’ll only ever end up in other people’s lists by pressing the “Make Myself Visible” button. If you choose to try it out, remember to disable it once you’re done.

As I said, my issue is mostly with the headline.

Fair - although I'm not big on shifting the blame from people only relying on headlines to form an opinion. That's on them, so-called "clickbait" or not.

If you have "Last Seen & Online" set to "My Contacts", then those people will see you in People nearby even if "Make Myself Visible" is turned off

Do you have a source for this claim? I don’t find this exception documented.

I don't know why i am being downvoted. I tested then and i also have test now. I thought this was the expected behavior. It shows me(who is in their contact list and on completely different network) as online 100m away
