Usage of 'in which'

I learnt that when we use 'in which', the 'in' must be come from the phrasal verb such as 'in' from 'interested in' and 'at' from 'work at'.

I am not sure why we use 'in which' in the following sentence.

"The film accurately portrays the way in which social media has changed the world."

What's the original sentence of the above sentence?

"The film accurately portrays the way which social media has changed the world in."

or

"The film accurately portrays the way which social media has changed in the world."

But I thought there is no such phrasal verb as 'change in'?

or maybe does 'in which' not really have to be from the preposition of a phrasal verb?
