Arrived in Bali Indonesia but time zone not found with “Automatically set time zone “, but Maps shows my location!
Also when setting time zone manually, no option for Denpasar (the capital)

iPhone SE, iOS 18
iPhones only show cities listed in Apple's maintained database for time zones, which includes major regional or administrative hubs. For Bali, the time zone is WITA (Central Indonesia Time, UTC+8). Since Denpasar is not specifically listed, you should select Makassar as the closest option because it shares the same time zone.
Why Choose Makassar for Bali:
By choosing Makassar, your iPhone will correctly display the local time for Denpasar, Bali.

Thanks SravanKra, you’ve answered the second part of my question, even though I would have thought that Denpasar was a major hub.
I guess only Apple can answer the anomaly in the first part, (why does Maps show my location, but Auto Timezone doesn’t?)
My iPhone won't detect the Time zone in Bali
