Is it only my feeling or is it true that in the last 6-9 months in CH there has been an exponential increase of SMS and call spam? In WhatsApp too.

Any suggestion on how to “survive”?

I would agree, I never had this before and suddenly I have gotten about 20 messages in the last few months. Usually about some fake package they want to deliver.

I just block and report spam on my phone.

I never had whatsapp spam but in the last 2-3 months i got even calls! (Which you can disable in the settings, block calls from unknown numbers)
