I have created a feature service and it shared: http://services.arcgis.com/u1pyDfVudZJk1pG6/arcgis/rest/services/Labels/FeatureServer
I have three layers and all three are defined to show labels.
Labels are nicely shown in ArcMap but not on ArcGIS.com Map.
Note! Attached is a picture of my layers and features in ArcMap.
UPDATED: I've done some more tests and this is my result:
This is how I create my labels:
Can you think of any workaround where labels are shown on a feature service?
Hi Johan,
have you raised this with ESRI as a potential bug?
Can you specify the AGS versions and if you still need help with this issue?
Thanks

Hi Miguel,
I didn't raise this as a bug. I don't think the possibility to show labels is implemented on feature services. It's only implemented on map services. My guess is that it's a known limitation and not really considered a bug. So, our customers will simply have to use map services to show labels in our GIS Map application. But I hope that it will be enabled on fetaure services too ....in any future release of ArcGIS.
I think I tested it on both ArcGIS 10.3 and 10.1.

Yes, looks like it is right.
I found this that can help:
Adding labels to ArcGIS Online web maps: Part 1 | ArcGIS Blog
Other option is having a map service just for the labels..
Working with Server 10.2.2. I have found the behavior to be the same - FeatureServer = no labels, MapServer = labels. Labels can be added to a FeatureServer type service using an ArcGIS Online map but they do not show up in the Collector app (version 17.0.1). Not sure with the logic is behind that...?
