Description

### Steps to reproduce

1. Log in to your account on web/desktop
2. Dismiss the notification on Element Android because your sync will take forever (not sure if relevant, but this is what I did)
3. After web syncs, use "Verify with another device"
4. Grab your Element Android (or any mobile device?) and accept the gray banner for verification
5. Do QR code scanning, using Android as the scanning device
6. Verified successfully: Android says the new session is verified, but web says the Android device is verified

### Outcome

#### What did you expect?

For the dialog to say "this device is verified" or "new device is verified", not mention the Element Android device.

#### What happened instead?
