  We perform a model-independent global fit to $b\to s\ell^+\ell^-$ observables
to confirm existing New Physics (NP) patterns (or scenarios) and to identify
new ones emerging from the inclusion of the updated LHCb and Belle measurements
of $R_K$ and $R_{K^*}$, respectively. Our analysis, updating Refs. [1,2] and
including these new data, suggests the presence of right-handed couplings
encoded in the Wilson coefficients ${\cal C}_{9'\mu}$ and ${\cal C}_{10'\mu}$.
It also strengthens our earlier observation that a lepton flavour universality
violating (LFUV) left-handed lepton coupling (${\cal C}_{9\mu}^{\rm V}=-{\cal
C}_{10\mu}^{\rm V}$), often preferred from the model building point of view,
accommodates the data better if lepton-flavour universal (LFU) NP is allowed,
in particular in ${\cal C}_{9}^{\rm U}$. Furthermore, this scenario with LFU NP
provides a simple and model-independent connection to the $b\to c\tau \nu$
anomalies, showing a preference of $\approx 7\,\sigma$ with respect to the SM.
It may also explain why fits to the whole set of $b\to s\ell^+\ell^-$ data or
to the subset of LFUV data exhibit stronger preferences for different NP
scenarios. Finally, motivated by $Z^\prime$ models with vector-like quarks, we
propose four new scenarios with LFU and LFUV NP contributions that give a very
good fit to data. We provide also an addendum collecting our updated results
after including the data for the $B\to K^*\mu\mu$ angular distribution released
in 2020 by the LHCb collaboration.
