Correct answer tom attix

The CMYK color space is for 4 color printing. Anything you create for IOS should be in an RGB color space. The correct profile is sRGB. So, in your case, your image was already in sRGB so conversion wasn't required. Try saving without the conversion and see if the image looks correct on an iPhone.

    Saving as JPEG isn't the whole process because there are a lot of options. What are ALL of the options you use when saving as JPEG?

      As said before, anything you will use in whatever way on smartphone - but this is true for any digital (aka non-printed) purpose - should be treated in a RGB environment, because you don't expect any device to have a color manager that can interpret your CMYK and convert in a good way in RGB.

      With that said, to solve your problem, you should just save the file in a usable file format (.jpg or .png will do best) and send it on the smartphone.

      Also, due to your Color Setting, you will not be prompted with any alert when you open a file that doesn't match your working color space, so you could be end up working on a CMYK file without even knowing. To know the actual color mode of the file you are working on, go to "Image > Mode" and see if "RGB Color" is selected.

      If not, you could convert the color profile via "Convert To Profile" [PLEASE DON'T CHANGE IT SELECTING IT DIRECTLY].

      Hope this will help.

        sRGB should work for Android devices too.

        This is why color management was invented. A phone is not color managed and doesn't care about color profiles.

        Still, the immediate issue here is probably CMYK. Very few applications have proper CMYK support, and I can promise you that nothing on a smartphone will have the slightest idea what CMYK is.

        CMYK is for offset print. Nothing else. If this file isn't headed for an offset press, don't use CMYK.
