LR different colors and contrast: desktop vs. mobile

When using Lightroom, I can see a very significant difference when comparing the "desktop version" vs. the "mobile version" of some pictures (even when comparing them on the same screen). So it seems that Lightroom mobile is making changes to contrast and/or color (mobile version look dull and washed in comparison). Why is this? How could I avoid this?

This difference is also present when I export a JPEG image from "Lightroom desktop" and compare it with the "Lightroom mobile" version.

I need my "online" pictures to look as they look when I am editing them in Lightroom (at least when it comes to color and contrast, I am not asking for the same level of detail). Because, otherwise, what is the point of Lightroom mobile if it does not show how the picture really is?

    Export as sRGB. Make sure that whatever viewer you are using to view your exports or LR Mobile photos is color managed.
