Here's why your phone says "Happy UAE"
Just in time for International Happiness Day…
Over the weekend, you might have noticed a little message in the top lefthand corner of your phone that says “HAPPY UAE”.
Like this:
What’s that all about? Well, it’s because International Happiness Day is coming up on March 20. The UAE’s own Journey of Happiness (a five-day festival celebrating all things positive) kicked off on Thursday, with a Happiness Carnival taking place on the streets of City Walk.
Both Etisalat and du changed their network name for the occasion.

It’s not the first time a special message has appeared. In September, the networks changed their name to the words “UAE KSA TOGETHER” to show support for Saudis on their National Day.
