I have a list of strings and I’m using Crossfade to animate between them (I’m showing 1 string at a time), like this:

var index by remember { mutableStateOf(0) }    

Crossfade(targetState = index) {
    Text(strings[it])
 }

Is there something that takes index from 0 to strings.size incrementally each second?
What I’m doing so far is

LaunchedEffect(news) {
            while (isActive) {
                delay(1_000)
                index += 1
                index %= news.size
            }
        }

However, I’m not sure if this is the right approach. Is there something like animateFloatAsState for int, for what I need?

Use produceState instead. You are in a suspending context there so you can do while (isActive) and in there delay and increment the value returning it to 0 when you reach the text's size.
