Blynk is used in IoT applications because it allows users to easily create custom user interfaces for their devices, without the need for extensive programming knowledge. It provides a variety of pre-built widgets that can be used to display information from the device, such as sensor readings or status messages, and allows users to control the device using buttons, sliders, and other input elements.
