In Samsung Galaxy J7 Max there is no blue light feature for a long time. However recently I used an app called "QuickShortcutMaker" to create shortcuts to certain settings on my home screen and actually found out that the blue light filter option do exist, but it is hidden and disabled. The question is why? Why would you do that? What kind of profit do you make by disabling this feature? Is it possible to enable it?

Yeah, you can check out my older post if you want.
If you enable Power Saving Mode, you will get Dark Theme instead Dark Mode but everything change into dark.
But some apps wont support like Radio and Voice Recorder. Even most of the dark themes dont support these 2 apps

But all other apps will get completely dark.

I tried it in Galaxy J7 2016 and it looks great, I mean this dark theme is different from dark mode present in android pie or later but it looks great. The only disadvantage is that I can't use all apps and settings of the phone as it is power saving mode.

Yeah, in Android 8 only system apps can be used. But still you can update all apps to Pie and get Dark Mode. Check this post-

In J5 Prime also having, but hidden or you can say disabled due to LCD screen. It should be Amoled display to show the filter.
