If you want to detect multiple gestures at the same time, you can use SwiftUI’s simultaneously function. You can simply say that it is opposite of sequenced gestures described in How to implement sequential gestures using sequenced?

For example, this code triggers multiple gestures simultaneously

struct ContentView: View {
    var body: some View {
        let longPressGesture = LongPressGesture()
            .onEnded { _ in
                print("Long press")
            }

        let doubleTapGesture = TapGesture(count: 2)
            .onEnded { _ in
                print("Double tap")
            }

        Circle()
            .fill(Color.red)
            .frame(width: 50, height: 50, alignment: .center)
            .gesture(doubleTapGesture.simultaneously(with: longPressGesture))
    }
}
