Previously  there was pressIndicatorGesture , I am using this to immitate that :

Modifier.pointerInput(Unit) {
    detectTapGestures(
        onLongPress = { doingSomething }
    )
}

how can I listen when you have left/cancel the long press?

You could add an onPress handler invoking awaitRelease, or more simply, just writing the code after detectTapGestures returns may work for you.

With either approach, you will probably need to add an extra variable like var didLongPress = false and set it in your long-press handler in order to distinguish long presses from other types of presses

Thank you @Alexandre Elias [G], I used for my usecase like this:

Modifier.pointerInput(Unit) {
        detectTapGestures(
            onLongPress = {
                doingSomething(true)
            },
            onPress = {
                doingSomething(true)
                if (this.tryAwaitRelease()) {
                    doingSomething(false)
                }
            }
        )
    }

I used tryAwaitRelease() as it returned me a boolean value to check when gesture is cancelled
