Hello. When ever I go onto my Mac, whatever I’m looking at ends up on my iPhone and when I X it out on my iPhone it disappears on my Mac. How do I stop my Mac searches from ending up on my iPhone? On my Mac I went to the Apple menu, system preferences, general and the “allow hand off” is NOT checked, so I’m not sure why it’s sharing to my iPhone. Thanks. Any help appreciated.
Got a tip for us?

So, at home, if I go onto my Mac and carmax.com or any website and then go onto safari on my iPhone, there is a bar at the bottom that shows or says “continue on Carmax”. If I delete that bar on Safari on my iPhone it closes the window on my Mac. So I’m trying to stop my Mac and iPhone from communicating.
That feature is called Handoff. Here's the Apple support article that shows how to turn it on. Anything that can be turned on can also be turned off. https://support.apple.com/HT209455
Thank you. What’s odd is that handoff isn’t “on” on my Mac or my iPhone. I check my Mac and ut wasn’t clicked on. I’ll double check though.
