    Hello there, SpaceGore.

     

     

     

    It seems your question is in regard to why you are seeing the iCloud icon when looking at tabs in safari on your iPhone 5c. What you're seeing is referred to as iCloud Tabs and is explained in great detail in the following Knowledge Base article:

     

     

     

    Set up and use iCloud Tabs

     

     

     

    Use iCloud Tabs

    Use iCloud Tabs with iOS 8 on your iPad, or iOS 7 or later on your iPhone and iPod touch, when you follow these steps:

    1. Open Safari.
    2. Tap the Tabs icon.
    3. Scroll to the bottom of the list, below the images of tabs open on your device. A list of open tabs on your other supported devices will appear.
    4. Tap the one you want to open.

    Use iCloud Tabs with iOS 7 on iPad, when you follow these steps:

    1. Open Safari.
    2. Tap the iCloud icon.
    3. Tap the one you want to open.

    Use iCloud Tabs with iOS 6 on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch:

    1. Tap the Bookmarks icon, then tap iCloud Tabs. A list of open tabs on your other supported devices will appear.
    2. Tap the one you want to open.

    Use iCloud Tabs on your Mac with Yosemite:

    1. In the Safari toolbar, click the Tabs  button. A list of open tabs from your other supported devices appears at the bottom of the Safari window.
    2. Click the tab you want to open.

    Use iCloud Tabs on your Mac with Mavericks:

    1. In Safari, click the iCloud Tabs button to the left of the address bar. A list of open tabs on your other supported devices will appear.
    2. Click the tab you want to open.

    iCloud Tabs shows only the tabs that are open on your other supported devices, not the tabs that are open on the device you're currently using.

    To remove a tab from the iCloud Tabs list, close that tab in Safari on the device that shared the tab, or from the Tabs window. Quitting Safari, putting your device to sleep, or turning your device off doesn't remove a tab from the list. Tabs that aren't viewed after 14 days are automatically removed.
