You are clearly seeing Apple’s Continuity service at work - this being intended to allow you to start an activity on one device - and seamlessly continue on another.

The illustrated Messages icon has an overlaid iPhone “badge” - this indicating that the Messages App is being used on your iPhone; tapping the icon will allow you to continue on your iPad from where you left-off on your iPhone.

You can find details of all the Continuity services - and how to enable or disable them - here:
