Best ways to dry it are with a hair dryer on cool setting or with a fan so it can evaporate the moisture.

Avoid using a hair dryer in case it warps plastic or melts solder.

Some sources say you shouldn't use a hair drier even on cool, because the high air pressure being forced into it can potentially cause damage. I'm just repeating what I've heard, i don't know if it's accurate or not

This will depend on the strength of the air setting and how close to the phone they get. Even with the most potent hair dryer on max you wouldn't damage a phone if you keep it half a meter or two feet away from whatever you are drying.
