Sharing safari between devices not wanted

I have turned off handoff, turned off iCloud for safari, turned off everything I can think of yet it is still sharing the tabs between my iMac and iPhone. I don't want this. How can I turn it off for good?

iMac (24-inch, M1, 2021, 2 ports)

Is there a way to remove old Safari tabs from all devices? I like to sync my safari tabs across my devices but I cannot get the tabs to close when I done with them. For example, I searched for tilapia fish on my iPhone about six months ago when I was in Mexico, but that web page tab link remains on my Macbook Pro. All of the online information is from 2016 and later. I have the same issue with my iPad and the issue is mirrored from my Macbook back onto my iPhone and iPad. I'm running most current MacOS and iOS. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Restrict Safari New Profiles I’d like to think I do everything I can to protect my family on the internet. I have restrictions on. I have it to where history can not be deleted. until today, I came across safari New Profiles. You can simply make a new profile. Browse as you please. And delete the profile. Which is pretty much private browsing. All one has to do is create a profile, browse, delete. And I’ll never know the profile was ever created with no track of online proof. any fixes around this?! I don’t think you can lock safari settings. And there’s no where in restrictions to restrict a new profile being made in safari. this is on iPhone by the way. thanks in advance

Hi Amy Mick,

We'll be glad to assist. If you've disabled iCloud for Safari and Handoff, the tabs shouldn't be showing on both devices. If they are, you'll need to reach out to Apple to look into this with you further here: Get Support

We hope this helps.

Cheers.
