Geolocation spoofing in Telegram
This method involves changing your location data to enable Telegram’s People Nearby feature, which allows you to find Telegram users nearby. The Telegram API allows you to do things within a radius of 500 meters (previously from 50 meters) to 10 km. using solutions such as:
Telegram Nearby Map - https://github.com/tejado/telegram-nearby-map
Telegram-Trilateration - https://github.com/jkctech/Telegram-Trilateration
Geogramint - https://github.com/Alb-310/Geogramint
The main disadvantage of the method is that the tracked user can at any time deny the messenger access to geolocation in the smartphone settings. Not to mention, location detection only works for users using Telegram on their devices. Finally, there are strict restrictions on the messenger for receiving data. This includes limiting the number of requests once every 5 minutes, and disabling search radii of 50 and 100 meters.
