The feature is currently available to a limited group of people on Twitter for iOS platform, and it will be available for everyone on iOS in the coming weeks. Since the announcement was made, the users on the social media site have been poking fun at the feature. In one such incident, A popular Twitter user known as 'Gabbbar Singh' (@GabbbarSingh) targeted actor-comedian, Vir Das, by taking a jibe at him.

'All you can do is tweet'

"Now all the stand-up comedians on Twitter can add a laughter track to their tweets," the user tweeted tagging Vir Das. The Go Goa Gone actor hitting back at 'Gabbbar', who has tweeted scathing reviews of Vir Das in the past, wrote "Nah. You can't do stand-up on Twitter. All you can do is tweet. By the way...the above line is both a general statement and specific to you too. Chal, enough attention."

The battle escalated after the Gabbbar (actually Abhishek Asthana) with more than a million followers responded to Das by saying "4 lines to construct a comeback. lol, Maybe you need a captive phoren audience here, who you can explain your jokes to, so that they can laugh."
