There should be only one Safari app on your phone. And, turning off syncing under iCloud should not make it disappear.
Are you going to Settings, taping on your iCloud account at the top. Then tap on "iCloud">App Using iCloud>Show All>Safari>Off? That doesn't turn off Safari, just disables its connection to iCloud.

Turn off Safari in iCloud settings.
Turning off Safari under iCloud settings indeed works, but then all safari apps disappear on my iphone. And indeed also the history from my iphone copied to my imac’s history. Is there no other simplier solution to prevent iphone history to be copied on imac history ? I find this topic a serious infringement of privacy. Now all my family members can see on our imac what i have looked up on my iphone….. I do not wish that to happen
How, exactly, is it an infringement of privacy? You should not be letting anyone else use your Mac under your login. If the Mac is shared between multiple users, each person should have their own account on the Mac.
Thanks a lot. I am going to do so. 👍
You are fully right. Bit still : is there no simplier way to prevent iPhone history to be copied towards iMac history ?
There is nothing simpler than giving each user of the Mac their own account to use it.
When it comes to privacy, your browsing history is the least of your worries.
search history is copied on multiple devices - i do not want this for privacy reasons
