Updating Message in a dialog without having to dismiss and recreate

Ionic Framework ionic-v3
1 
let loader = this.loadingCtrl.create({
  content: 'Finding your info...'
});
loader.present();

Is there a way to programatically change the content of the loader, while its opened.

I wanted to communicate with a back end and use the loader as a platform to show the current progress of the account creation progress. Currently I am removing and recreating loaders for various steps but I would rather have 1 loader start, and not stop, but change the message inside during various processes. How can i connect to my current showing loader and update the content field?

thanks!

creates a Loading on create. There is a setContent method there:

Maybe you can access this somehow…
