The reason this is happening is that you are selecting a too narrow colorspace for the color of the sea in that image. You are probably chosing sRGB and that jade color is not possible in sRGB. So simply make sure you export to display P3 instead (the colorspace your iPhone's display is in).
Here is the proof. Soft proofing your screenshot to sRGB in Classic. You can see the left (your Lightroom app) is way out of sRGB gamut (red areas). That color simply cannot be displayed in sRGB. Right is not clipped because the export already clipped it to sRGB and dulled the colors as a result. You can set the options on how to export using the tiny little buttons on the right hand side of of the share button, then choose "More options"->Color Space
Color management and consistent color is a very deep rabbit hole indeed. It used to be that the only way to get consistent color is to calibrate your displays and to only use sRGB for your exports that go to the web. Nowadays you can buy machines lie the mac Book Pros that have really consistent color from the get go but now you will run into problems with the web not being that consistent yet. More and more browsers are color managed so that has lightened the problems but unfortunately many of the apps such as instagram do a terrible job of this. Now we have the addition of HDR images such as the HEIC images and HDR video that iPhones now all shoot but is very inconsistent in whether devices and software can display them. Just shoot a HDR enabled image in HEIC of something with extreme brightness differences (neon lighting is a good one) on your phone (it's the default) using the phone camera and import that image into Lightroom. You'll see that the image in the photos app will look amazing and very dull in Ligtroom since Lightroom does not yet support HDR images (the built in HDR function has nothing to do with actual HDR images).
To answer your question, as I noted a few times above, to export into displayP3 color space from Lightroom on your phone, you should tap the small slider button next to the share option (or use the "export as" button) in the share screen
Then tap: M ore options:
And finally select the color space.
 
It will remember these settings for the next time you export from the app.
If you selected "export as" in the first screen you will get to use all the same options.
So i was able to change my MBP color profile but once applied the Internet Web it killed my brightness, so it was impossible to edit. Im not sure how this doesnt affect more users and isn't an issue for the majority.

If it killed your brightness, your brightness before was set WAAAAAAAAAAY too high. The brightness it takes your display to is the standard that conforms to the sRGB standard. To calibrate yourself, white on your display should be similar to a white sheet of paper in the same space you are editing. If you are set much brighter, you will edit all your images much too dark to compensate. This is quite essential. Displays are getting brighter and brighter which allows you to edit in brighter spaces but that comes at a price that the displays are going to be far too bright to reliably edit your images if you don't tone it down for typical office environments. If your environment is bright enough that you need more brightness in the sRGB setting, what you want to do is clone the preset in System preferences creating a sRGB setting that allows you to change the brightness of the display. It is not hard to do. From the preset popup, select Custpmize presets, select the sRGB preset and hit the little plus in the bottom left corner. Set the SDR luminance to something like 160 nits which is typical for a quite bright room.

You cannot. There is no soft proof in Cloudy. You have to use Lightroom Classic or Photoshop. The thing with setting the display to sRGB is a trick to emulate it but won't completely solve this.
This is an issue for the majority by the way. Most people are simply not aware of it and never notice. This has NOTHING to do with Lightroom which does the right thing and trusts that the OS is doing the right thing. The issue is due to how displays, color spaces, calibration, etc. work. It is not simple to get right and you really need to dive into this to get it right. Editing software cannot protect you from this.
