Default Detergent in potting soil absorbs water better?

I've been told if I put a pinch of dry laundry detergent in a gallon

newly-transferred plants, the potting soil was absorb water better.

Is this true?

Will my plants be harmed in any way?

Your plants will be fine and a few drops of dish soap works good too.
