Question

using iTunes to add or delete apps on iPhone

I have iPhone 6S latest iOS and I synch thru iTunes 12.7.4.76 (the latest) connected to my desktop iMac running Hi-Sierra (the latest). For some reason I cannot find the screen in iTunes where I can select apps to be loaded or removed. I thought Apps was under the Summary with the music, photos, etc, choices. Its not there. So I'm confused how to change or review what I have downloaded and not currently have loaded. Searching the apps store on my iPhone or trying to remember what I have is not practical and time consuming. I know how to delete using the iPhone, but I also could unload using iTunes when synching and now I no longer know how.

iPhone 6s, iOS 11.3

The reason is that capability was removed last year when iTunes 12.7 was introduced.

Apps are now managed on the iOS device directly.

Thanks, I guess I didn't keep up, but that approach is not great. I know you are a messenger and appreciate your responding. Thank you. And thank you for links explaining.

My soap box statement: I like the old way for viewing on my desktop. It is simple on the iPhone, even good! But it doesn't add value and since I synch regularly with my desktop, I like one stop convenience addressing all at one time and place. I'm not ready to synch automatically thru iCloud.
