Why does my phone download the app my iPad downloaded?

So my iPad/iPhone will download apps but they will show up on the other device with a little blue dot. How do I turn this off?

settings->app store->app downloads


uncheck it then apps downloaded on other ios devices with the same appleID will not auto download


about the blue dot then that means an app has been updated since you last used it, that is not something you can disable I believe
