The article seems somewhat absent of information, They list telegram as one of these location tracker apps. I use telegram and it has some features like sending your location to a friend but I'm not aware of it ever just grabbing your location without requesting it. I'm also not sure that ios allows grabbing the location without the app being in use either.

It doesn't say Telegram tracks your location, it says apps masquerading as Telegram track your location.

Actually, Telegram is an open standard which allows you or me to make a compatible app. Now, I am not sure if they are talking of such a client or an app that imitates to be one of these.

The article says it quite clear:

>"Predicio is present in twelve messenger apps, including apps masquerading as Telegram and WeChat. X-Mode is present in apps such as Messenger Go and Messenger Pro that mimic the branding of Facebook Messenger, with at least 60 million downloads."
