I'm not sure what this feature or option is called, but I tried looking up on how to remove it, but to no avail. I have screenshotted them.

That is Handoff. The following from Use Continuity to connect your Mac, iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Apple Watch - Apple Support has instructions on how to turn it on (and from that you can deduce how to turn it off):
Use Handoff with any Mac, iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Apple Watch that meets the Continuity system requirements. Handoff works when your devices are near each other and set up as follows:
- Each device is signed in to iCloud with the same Apple ID.
To see the Apple ID used by Apple Watch, open the Apple Watch app on your iPhone, then go to General > Apple ID.- Each device has Bluetooth turned on.
- Each Mac, iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch has Wi-Fi turned on.
- Each device has Handoff turned on:
- On Mac, choose Apple menu () > System Preferences, then click General. Select “Allow Handoff between this Mac and your iCloud devices.”
- On iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, go to Settings > General > Handoff, then turn on Handoff.
- On Apple Watch, open the Apple Watch app on your iPhone, then tap General and turn on Enable Handoff.
Apple Watch supports handing off from watch to iPhone only.
