"App Limits" icon and settings are missing from ScreenTime, when going into my personal iPhone to make changes for my 8 year-old's Apple Watch. There is also a new icon labelled "Communication Safety", which isn't even discussed in this help topic page.
Hello Taylor Richards,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. From your post, App Limits is missing from the ScreenTime page on your device that is connected to your child's Apple Watch. We'll do what we can to help.
From the link you posted from, some Screen Time features are only available for iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch (like App Limits). Communication Safety is a setting available for Apple Watch set up for family members for approved contacts.
You can still set Content and Privacy Restrictions in Screen Time for the Apple Watch: Set up Apple Watch for a family member
Best regards.

Hi Nicholas_B2
Thanks for your response.
I find it bizarre that my 8 year old son would need to have his OWN iPhone in order for me to be able to adjust "app limits" on games that are on his Apple Watch, but I suppose that's just the way it is.
What I can't comprehend is why -- during the initial setup of ScreenTime for his Apple Watch -- I am given the option to set "app limits"
Then, after the "app limits" are set... I can't adjust the "app limits". The icon simply isn't there.
Furthermore, I have discovered that even when I set an "app limit" during the INITIAL ScreenTime setup, these "app limits" don't even work.
It almost seems as though Apple ACCIDENTALLY left in the "app limit" set up screen for an Apple Watch that isn't paired with IT'S OWN iPhone.
Any light you can shed on this would be helpful.
