Hello, I would like to ask you for help. I have Windows 11 Pro with all updates. I bought Dell 3223QE and calibrated it using DisplayCal 3.8.9.3 and xRite ColorMunki. At the end I chose to Install the profile. I used default settings, only changed color temperature do 6400K. Till here everything ok without any problem and I am pretty happy with the colors.
Well, I like to edit photos. I export it from Capture One to Photoshop – everything looks good. I export it as sRGB. I edit it still in sRGB and export from Photoshop. I tried File / Export / Export As with checked Convert to sRGB and checked Embed Color Profile. I also tried File / Export / Save for Web again with Convert to sRGB and Embed Color Profile checked. The exported images look much more saturated than how it looked in Photoshop. When I open the exported JPEG image back in Photoshop, I see sRGB profile and it looks exactly the way it should.
It looks bad very saturated when I post it on instagram and looking at it in instagram app on my mobile phone. It looks bad also when I open it with Faststone with allowed CMS. Faststone has the 2nd option “Auto-detect and use monitor color profile” – when I check this, colors look perfect. It is ok when looking at it in Chrome.
Am I doing anything wrong or the problem only is IG app does not use color management? And is there any workaround for this issue? I expected software without color management will have only slightly different colors, but not so huge difference.

You are seeing images in a non color managed viewer or a non color managed web browser.
Old windows imageviewer was color managed while not in full screen for matrix porfile type. Google how to restore it istead of using microsft photos app… at least in W10 worked. IDNK in W11It looks bad very saturated when I post it on instagram and looking at it in instagram app on my mobile phone.
Non color managed AMOLED or P3 mobile.

Because 2nd try you did actually use color management

For your description, you did your work as you should. The problem is non color managed apps. Use color managed equivalents.
And is there any workaround for this issue?
AMOLED mobiles have a “basic” display setting (at least Samsung ones) that emulates sRGB display, but you cannot control other people’s devices.
If you have a widegamut you can use Photoshop softproofing to non color managed displays. Profile remotely a sample mobile, oy just use DIsplayP3 ICC profile as a generic widegamut mobile, then softproof in photoshop and check “preserve RGB numbers” (non color managed preview) and choose that ICC profile taht describes some mobile phone.
THis way you can (try to) predict how som people will see your photos in android isntagram app with “non basic” display configuration.I expected software without color management will have only slightly different colors, but not so huge difference.
Another option is full sRGB simulation in your computer for non color managed apps, like DWMLUT whcih shoudl work on any GPU. Remember that white thta app is active you cannot trust color managed apps colors unless you set as display profile (only for that time period) what you are simulating.
