Yes. You can take support of WhatsApp messages to lodge the FIR.

However, a cheating case is always in respect of a transaction. You need to mention in detail how the transaction took place and how the cheater had the intention to cheat you right from the inception.

Section 415 and 420 of the IPC deals with cheating. Considering the definition of the offence, proper drafting of the complaint has to be done. WhatsApp messages are always going be a supportive piece of evidence to the transaction that you were cheated in respect to.
