I further had to do some research and records findings of past occurrences and experience with telegram and it became pertinent that I ask this question. I believe each telegram account holder would definitely have to create his or her own wallet possibly after an upgrade to update such features into the app. So far there have been a lot of nefarious act been don on telegram such as account cloning, account hacking and lots more and I ask what if in a situation where by one's account telegram account is hacked does that automatically grants the hacker access to the wallet? Because I believe the wallet is already built with that telegram account  irrespective of the fact that there is private key or phrase.
As I was reading this post what came into my mind was the Vitalik account hack on X.  So OP your question eventually answered your query. Yes! With just a clone of the account it's an automatic access to the havker into the account wallet. Mind you it was just a clone on Vitalik sim number that's how the hackers got access.

I believe we can discuss this here to knowing more and sharing ideas about this unfolding development because telegram itself has a huge number of Crypto enthusiast and I tell you there would definitely be lots of activities and engagements on telegram in the days coming and this would definitely increase lots of telegram scams and hacks which would warrant telegram account holders to strengthen their telegram security features.
Your ideas are welcomed for further discussions.
I can't find reasons to creates more and more wallets for myself right now and if I wanna create one it wouldn't be a telegram wallet. If scammers and hackers have usually had it easy hacking and cloning telegram users accounts of what difference will the security make now that a money wallet has been attached . I think telegram hacker might be throwing an in house party right now over this development.
