You are confusing encryption and end-to-end encryption. By default, all traffic on Telegram is encrypted, but stored on their servers (encryption keys are never stored in the same country to prevent seizing of them by authorities). End-to-end encryption does not store anything on their servers.
Here Pavel Durov (Telegram founder) explains why end-to-end encryption is not enabled by default: http://telegra.ph/Why-Isnt-Telegram-End-to-End-Encrypted-by-Default-08-14
