My kids have done that with mixed results. Some of the latest phones will take a dunking. Main thing I was told is to not try and turn it on or off before putting in rice.

Silica gel packets, put the phone in a bag of them and leave over night, you have nothing to loose, take the battery off ASAP, but put both in the bag, this worked for me, if you shake it and water still comes out, put it back in the bag, I dropped mine in a puddle of sea water when fishing.
Ps, I did try turning on before doing this.

I’d imagine if you can take the battery out then it’s a well old phone?

I can see moisture behind the camera lens

If water and other liquids have got inside and you have turned it on, then it's toast and time to get a new phone, preferably with an IP65 rating.

Put it in rice, nothing to lose and you have it handy im sure, tho its been 6 hours so probably too late now.
most decent modern phones (2017 or so onwards) have some WR and dont mind a dunking.
