It sounds like you are syncing contacts at with iCloud. Settings>Your Name>iCloud>Apps using iCloud>Contacts. If you have that turned on, that means you are syncing contacts with iCloud. If you are, that means that whatever you do on one device is reflected on all devices that are using the same Apple ID and iCloud account.
