It would be nice to have a label or instruction capability. A free standing text field with no pin functionality or operational value.
We have that already with the Labeled Value widget⌠and just type in your text in the LABEL sectionâŚ

Nice! I was actually looking for such a function and planned to create my own topic. Question though: can this âvalueâ be set through code?
To give the use case: Iâm checking my relays but the values are 1 = OFF and 0 = ON, which is a bit confusing, so I wanted to push text: ON and OFF. I know I could use a styled button for thatâŚbut that would be a button and thus less ideal.
Aside from a vPin assignment and a Blynk.virtualWrite(), NO. And then that data will be only displayed in place of the /pin/ (removed in this example) in addition to whatever you write in the LABEL area.
Also, the Blynk.setproperty() can only reference the little top label
You canât beat a styled button as a labeled status output I think. Just have both the âonâ and âoffâ label the same so if the button is pressed thereâs no change on the screen.
It does add the option of a background colour, that is true 
But a bit more constrained in horizontal text capacity if you want shorter displays (thanks to âairâ).
These are both displaying the same thing⌠âThis is my Text 1234â
But again⌠background colour! 
I agree ⌠the update with the extra padding was a bit annoyingâŚbut I guess there will be pros and cons with all blynk updatesâŚ

The work arounds are just that. I agree the buttons produce the desired effect but still it would be good to have a flat text field. Also be nice to have some filled boxes for boarders and functional grouping.
That said, these are really just aesthetics and Iâm sure there are higher priorities on the development list (like text entryđ)

At least your maps follow pins
