Of course it is a privacy violation case when a piece of software is giving to others the information (without my permission) that I have received a message on the screen. No matter if the propriety server of Telegram (and FB and others) are expected to work so. Tomorrow someone will perhaps say, software is expected to have back doors for NSA and so we must implement this because it "is expected to work".
No, the stated design is for communication between trusted friends you know in real life and have exchanged phone numbers with. This is like picking up the telephone to make a call and then complaining that it violates your privacy because it reveals the sound of your voice and the ones you call could recognize your voice later.
If the software doesn't suit your needs, that's quite all right, and you shouldn't use it. But that certainly doesn't make it malicious.
