Ok i understand that windows photos is not color managed but that means that Instagram isn't either since it looks exactly like the preview in windows photos.

my workflow in Lightroom has been import a photo edit it in camera standard profile and then change the profile to adobe color and export which gives almost the same colors as edited.

how can i make instagram not strip the profile? (if thats the problem like you said)

What photo viewer should I use to see color managed photos properly?

i really dont care how the photos look like in preview it just matters how they look like for the client and for instagram.

Some clarifications about color managed applications on Windows:

The Windows Photo Viewer (not to be confused with Photos) is the only color managed native application on Windows. It's hidden on Windows 10, do a search for it.
The Edge browser and Internet Explorer are not color managed, and should be avoided.
Chrome and Opera are fully color managed, and will by default assign sRGB to untagged images and page elements – just like Firefox with Color management mode set to 1. So even if Instagram strips the profile, images should display correctly when using one of these browsers.

Suggestions for color managed image viewers:

Bridge. It's a bit slow, and may not be ideal for quick previews, but it's free, and included with your CC subscription.
Irfanview is also free, but color management has to be enabled under Options > Properties/Settings. Make sure to restart the application after enabling color management.
ACDSee Standard is my personal favorite. It's fast, and highly customizeable. You can also customize keyboard shortcuts, and it even supports single key shortcuts, like Lightroom. It costs around $40.

As said, it is important to realize that on windows many applications including built-in system ones are not color managed. This includes windows Photos, and the system default web browser. So if you use a wide gamut monitor with windows, you absolutely have to make sure you only judge color in color managed apps. All Adobe apps are color managed so there you don't have to worry. Most browsers, except the built-in one, can be set up to color manage correctly.
