Do you want the icon to also be in the center? – Josteve Apr 03 '20 at 19:16 — Josteve, Apr 03 '20 at 19:16

in your column, try crossAxisAlignment: CrossAxisAlignment.stretch

EDIT: if you're trying to do what I think you're trying to do, try adding

mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center

to your row

Oh hold on, I missed the Row widget that your text is in. In that case I'm not actually sure I understand what you're trying to do here – milesau Apr 03 '20 at 18:29

you need to wrap your text widget with Expanded widget. Default Row Widget will not take full width and it is creating issue.

Check out following code.

Expanded(
     child: Text(
      "+12-345-678-910",
      textAlign: TextAlign.center,
     ),
),
