Telegram groups are not E2E.

Chats are encrypted, but the servers hold the encryption keys (I believe).

There are one-to-one chats that are full e2e, but you have to enable it. And it has all sorts of compromises.

Qualifier: this is as dicumented by telegram. Since it’s not open source, we can’t really verify it
