But it seems to be the case, because under network setting in my mac, only the networks which my iphone has joined before show up, others are gone. I just don't know why it acts like this.
How do your mac connect to the internet?
What WiFi... what network?
What do you mean? Like my wifi network at my home, school or public area. If I reset my iPhone's network setting, when I go back to home, my mac wouldn't connect to my home's network too. I have to retype the password. And I go to system preferences -> network -> advanced under wifi, I only see the wifi networks that my iphone has joined after resetting the network setting. That's why I think they are related, but I couldn't think of a reason why apple would do that. So i'm wondering if I set something wrong....
are you tethering your computer to you phone via WiFi
No, I rarely do that.
Do you have iCloud Keychain sync enabled between the 2 devices?
YES! Oh is that the reason?
Yes. It's covered in this article.

Thanks so much!
I have the same problem as Charlie Siu
If its because of iCloud Keychain, after putting back my password on my iPhone wifi setting, shouldn't iCloud Keychain automatically insert these passwords on my iMac and iPad as well?
