42,016 Pointswhat exactly do you want to do? you could just add a label and display it over an ImageView

42,016 Pointswell imageViews just display images. if you are using storyboards and have an imageView in your view controller, just drag a label out on top of that imageView and double click the label to set the text you want to be displayed
if you need to do this in code you can do something like:
UILabel *textLabel = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0,0,20,30)];
textLabel.text = "some text";
textLabel.fontColor = [UIColor blackColor];
[self.view addSubview:textLabel]
and just change the arguments to cgrect make to whereever you need the text label to be. you could use an image view property and use its position to relatively position your label to the imageView
