Modify image colors so that To become in Photoshop as colors it will appear on the mobile

Hello,
Recently I'm facing a big problem and it frustrated me and made me lose the motivation to learn design and composition,

The problem is about color calibration, and the problem is that when I design an image on my computer the colors are good, But when I transfer it to my phone it is completely different because the phones screen don't support the full and complete variety. As do laptop screens,
I had asked a similar question regarding this topic, but unfortunately I was not able to purchase a color calibration monitor, to solve this problem.

By the way, I previously tried to modify the Hue and saturation so that the image when viewed on the mobile looks like the image that I designed on the computer,

But I was surprised that the image became beautiful when viewed on the phone, but when viewed on the computer it looks very bad.
A question for you guys, is there a way to open the image in Photoshop and calibrate the colors so that it appears as an image that will be the same if you watch it on the phone or on the laptop (maybe by deleting some colors that phone screens do not support it or something like that),
Or is there a program or a tool to make the image colors fit with the phone screens,

And I am sure that the colors will be the same when exporting and will not change if the customers see it on laptop or phone..

The problem is a lack of consistent color management and browsers or other applications that are not color-managed at all. You cannot control how others view your images! They may not be using color-managed applications which is really bad. Even if they are, they may be using different display technologies, they may be calibrating their displays differently than others, and so forth. Some displays are wide gamut, some are not. There is no way to ensure a visual match of what you see and what all others see.

I agree with digitaldog. You have no control over the color settings on someone elses device.

Color management inconsistency has plagued us for years.
