Pre-requisite – You must turn on the Location Services on your iPhone.
Step 1 – Open up the iPhone Settings.
Step 2 – Next, tap the “Privacy & Security” settings.
Step 3 – Later, open the “Location Services” settings on your iPhone.
Step 4 – Turn on the “Location Services” on your iPhone.
Now, once the Location Services is turned on, you can proceed with the rest of the solutions.

Step 2 – So, open the Settings tab and swipe down to the bottom part. Open up the “Apps“.
Step 3 – Find and open the “Telegram” app.

Step 12 – This should take you to the Telegram settings page. Open the “Location” settings there, if it isn’t opened yet.

Your location should be shared with the person on the Telegram app.
Go back to the Telegram app to see whether the location is actually got shared or not.
