I am completely unfamiliar with Apple products. I work from Home and my boss bought me an Apple Iphone 7 to use for work-related calls.

I just noticed that this new Iphone somehow migrated ALL of my favorites/bookmarks from Internet Explorer from my personal desktop computer, and I do not want them on this phone as my boss also has access to it. I don't understand how this connection and transfer of information was made! This phone has never even been plugged into my personal desktop computer!

I also see that the Iphone has record of every website I go to on my own personal desktop computer! How can this be & how can I cut this tie??

Can someone PLEASE tell me how to remove the migrated favorite bookmarks from this Iphone and how to stop it from keeping track on what I do on my own personal desktop computer? I wish to keep this work Iphone completely separate from my personal desktop computer!

Thank you

Where exactly do you see the favorites and history on the iPhone?
