Why do my iPhone apps automatically install on my iPad?

Every time I install an app on my iPhone, it also installs on my iPad. There are apps that I don't want on my iPad but want to keep on my iPhone. If I delete them from my iPad, they are deleted from my iPhone. And if I reinstall them on my iPhone, they once again show up on my iPad. How can I stop these automatic installations?

iPhone 6s

On iPad, Settings, App Store, Automatic downloads

Turn "Apps" off (but leave "App Updates" on)

Ditto on Phone if you don't want apps bought on ipad to go to iphone.
