IOS – How to disable Chrome/Safari notifications on multiple devices

icloudiosiphonemacbook prosafari

I have a macbook, iPad and two iPhones (one is mine, second – my wife's). All of them are connected to the same iCloud/apple account. Now, after last updates (starting from iOS 9), once my wife open some page at Chrome/Safari on her iPhone, I receive notifications at my macbook (some app icon at the left side of Dock menu). Moreover, after installing 9.0.3 on iPhone, once I open some page at Chrome/Safari on my macbook, she receives the notification at her iPhone..

The question is – how can I disable it? Is there some option that disables only this feature without disconnecting the whole device from apple/iCloud account?

Best Answer

This sounds like Handoff. Handoff lets you continue an action you start on one device on a different one (e.g. browsing a webpage).

If not already, you have to disable it on every device.

On OS X:

  1. Go to System Preferences > General
  2. Deselect Allow Handoff between this Mac and your iCloud devices

On iOS:

  1. Go to Settings > General > Handoff & Suggested Apps
  2. Turn off Handoff.
