When navigating to web.threema.ch, the instruction how to proceed is very short.

Currently the message is: Scan this QR code with your Threema app But it is not obvious, where in the app you do scanning.

The translation label is PLEASE_SCAN in https://github.com/threema-ch/threema-web/blob/1656f800cd9db3bda8ced7991607deba1ddab1a4/public/i18n/en.json#L8 Maybe this is adapted with this translation label, maybe a 2nd label introduced (like PLEASE_SCAN_INSTR).
