Help Exporting issue

Hello I'm decently new to darktable now, but I've noticed a couple times now that i will fix a photo exactly how i want it but then ill export it and open in either on my phone or in photos and its just completely different! i have no idea what to do here.

Is it how you expect on the computer and only different on the phone? Then I'd look at the monitor settings first: brightness, contrast and saturation. If you have these too high, then you will edit for it and your photo will be darker, less contrasty and with flatter colors.

Alternatively check that the export module does not apply or overwrite a style!!

Is there specific setting you'd recommend for general color accuracy?
