Why is the apps tab not showing under my settings list in my itunes library?

Hello. I recently made a ringtone on a ringtone app on my phone and I was trying to download it to my phone through my itunes account. However, when I click on my device in my library, and the settings list comes up, it does not list "Apps" as an option. It only lists: "Summary", "Music", "TV Shows", "Photos", "Info", and "File Sharing". The ringtone app says I need to click on the apps tab. Where is it? Why is it gone? Is it because of the new itunes update? My library used to list the apps that I had, but there are absolutely no apps on here now; only music, movies, tv shows, podcasts, and audiobooks. This is really frustrating me. Please help me asap!

iPhone 6, iOS 10.3.3

The "missing Apps" is by design in the new iTunes:


No more Apps in iTunes?


Also see this discussion for the ringtones:


"Tones" Tab not showing up in "library" section of iTunes. (not on iPhone)
