QR code background cut off?
It seem that the buttons Start app sharing and stop sharing cut the bottom of the QR code background off – maybe not on every device... will check. But on Pixel2 they do. On Nokia 3.1 the cut off area is a bit smaller. On Samsung A01 Core, there is no cut off... the background has nice rounded corners (however, maybe the space between the QR code background and the buttons bellow could be increased?

- Existing Text After you are connected to the Wi-Fi, carefully enter this address in your browser Comment This reads as though the user 1 needs to enter this code, and it is actually the user2 on device2. Proposed Text After the other device is connected to the local hotspot on your phone, it needs to enter this address into its browser
This will open a small website from which they can download the Briar app.
- Existing Text Instead of typing the address manually, you can also scan QR code Comment This is addressed to user1 on device1 and it should be addressed to the user2 ondevice2 Proposed Text Instead of typing the address manually, the other phone can scan the QR code provided in the QR tab

You need to keep the hotspot on your phone open (by staying on this screen) whilst the donwnload is ongoing. When the other phone has successfully downloaded the Briar app from your phone, you can close this screen by pressing Stop Sharing (or 'Close/delete/cancel hotspot' if button renamed)
