Safari and Photos Icon appearing on iPad Dock

For the last few days primarily the photo icon {with a smaller icon of a PC in the upper right] has appeared in my iPad dock. I remove it and it then shows on the screen but also remains in the dock! Sometimes the Safari icon does the same thing. I have now put 7 icons in the dock but this still happens. Why do these icons {Photos and Safari} appear in my dock with a little icon of a PC in the upper right hand corner?

It sounds like you have Handoff turned on. See the Handoff section of Use Continuity to connect your Mac, iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Apple Watch - Apple Support
