Biles, along with Douglas, Dowell, Kocian, Nichols, Raisman, and Skinner, was selected to represent the United States at the 2015 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships in Glasgow, Scotland. Biles once again qualified in first place in the all-around, vault, beam, and floor finals. Her uneven bars score would have qualified her in eighth place in that final as well, but she was excluded, as per the rules, after teammates Kocian and Douglas qualified ahead of her. In team finals, she helped the United States team win their third consecutive gold medal at a World Championships event.{{cite news |title=U.S. Women Win Third Straight World Gymnastics Title |url=http://www.teamusa.org/News/2015/October/27/US-Women-Win-Third-Straight-World-Gymnastics-Title |access-date=October 29, 2015 |website=TeamUSA.org |publisher=United States Olympic Committee |date=October 27, 2015 |archive-date=October 30, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151030160632/http://www.teamusa.org/News/2015/October/27/US-Women-Win-Third-Straight-World-Gymnastics-Title |url-status=dead}} During the all-around final, Biles performed below her usual standard, taking a large hop on the vault, landing out of bounds on floor (which she stated was a first{{cite web |title=Simone Biles – Interview – 2015 World Championships – All-Around Final | date=October 29, 2015 |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aaKbPFeb4-g |publisher=USA Gymnastics |access-date=October 29, 2015 |archive-date=November 18, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151118044050/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aaKbPFeb4-g |url-status=live}}), and grasping the beam to prevent a fall.

Biles had the highest scores on vault, balance beam, and floor; she had the only score over 15 on balance beam in the finals. She and Raisman became the second pair of American gymnasts to win gold and silver in the individual all-around, after Nastia Liukin and Shawn Johnson in 2008.

In the vault final, she scored 15.900 for her Amânar and 16.033 for her Cheng to win her second individual gold medal with an average score of 15.966, more than 0.7 points ahead of second-place finisher Maria Paseka of Russia and third-place finisher Giulia Steingruber of Switzerland.

With four Olympic gold medals, Biles set an American record for most gold medals in women's gymnastics at a single Games, and equaled several other records with her medals won in Rio.{{cite news |last=Barnas |first=Jo-Ann |date=August 14, 2016 |title=Biles becomes most decorated U.S. gymnast with Olympic vault gold |url=https://usagym.org/pages/post.html?PostID=19143&prog= |newspaper=USA Gymnastics |location=Indianapolis, Indiana |access-date=August 15, 2016 |quote=With three golds, she has already set the U.S. mark for most gold medals in women's gymnastics at a single Games. |archive-date=August 15, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160815161608/https://usagym.org/pages/post.html?PostID=19143&prog= |url-status=live}} Biles winning four gold medals was the first instance of a quadruple gold medallist in women's gymnastics at a single Games since Ecaterina Szabo (Romania) in 1984, and fifth overall, after Larisa Latynina (USSR, 1956), Agnes Keleti (Hungary, 1956), Věra Čáslavská (Czechoslovakia, 1968) and Szabo. Biles became the sixth female gymnast to have won an individual all-around title at both the World Championships and the Olympics—the others being Larisa Latynina, Věra Čáslavská, Ludmilla Tourischeva, Elena Shushunova, and Lilia Podkopayeva. Biles is the first female gymnast since Lilia Podkopayeva (Ukraine) in 1996 to win gold in the all-around as well as in an event final, and the first female gymnast since Podkopayeva to win the Olympic all-around title while holding the World and European/American individual all-around titles. She joined Latynina (1956–1960), Čáslavská (1964–1968), and Luydmila Tourischeva (1968–1972), as the fourth female gymnast to win every major all-around title in an Olympic cycle.

Biles joined Mary Lou Retton in 1984, Shannon Miller in 1992, and Nastia Liukin in 2008, in winning five women's gymnastics medals at a single Olympics, along with Szabo (Roumania, 1984), Nadia Comaneci (Roumania, 1976), and Karin Janz (East Germany, 1972). Olga Mostepanova (USSR) also won five gold medals at the Alternate Olympics in 1984. The overall record for most women's Olympic gymnastics medals at a single game (majority gold), remains six medals (Latynina, 1956, 1960, and 1964, Keleti, 1956, Čáslavská, 1968, Daniela Silivas, 1988).

Biles and her teammate Gabby Douglas are the only American female gymnasts to win both the individual all-around gold and team gold at the same Olympics. Douglas won both at the 2012 London Games.

At the 2020 Olympic Games, held in July and August 2021, Biles performed the all-around during the qualifications and helped the United States qualify for the team final, in second place behind the Russian team. She suffered several mishaps during qualifications: she bounced entirely off the floor landing on one of her tumbling passes and stepped one foot off the landing mat during her Cheng vault, and took several large stumbles back on her balance beam dismount. Despite these mistakes, Biles still qualified for the all-around final in first place. She also qualified in first place for the vault final, advanced to the floor exercise final in second place behind Vanessa Ferrari, and qualified for the balance beam and uneven bars finals.

During warm-ups for the first rotation of the team final, Biles balked on her Amanar vault mid-air, performing 1.5 twists instead of the expected 2.5. She repeated this in the competition, balking and performing the 1.5 twist with a large lunge and near-fall on the landing, and scored just 13.766 with a difficulty score of 5.0 (rather than the Amanar's 5.8). She subsequently left the competition floor (although she returned to the floor a few minutes later) and withdrew from the rest of the team competition, citing mental health issues. Biles later explained that she was inspired by fellow female Olympian Naomi Osaka, who had withdrawn from the French Open and Wimbledon Championships earlier in the year for similar reasons.{{cite web |title=Simone Biles says 'I have to focus on my mental health' after pulling out of team final |work=BBC News |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/olympics/57982665 |date=July 27, 2021 |access-date=July 27, 2021 |archive-date=July 27, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210727120654/https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/olympics/57982665 |url-status=live }}{{cite news |first1=George |last1=Ramsay |first2=John |last2=Sinnott |title='I have to focus on my mental health,' says Simone Biles after withdrawing from gold medal event |url=https://www.cnn.com/2021/07/27/sport/simone-biles-tokyo-2020-olympics/index.html |date=July 27, 2021 |access-date=July 27, 2021 |publisher=CNN |archive-date=August 20, 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240820212406/https://www.cnn.com/2021/07/27/sport/simone-biles-tokyo-2020-olympics/index.html |url-status=live }}{{cite news |last=Andrew |first=Scottie |title=Simone Biles' withdrawal reminds us that she's human – and still very much the GOAT |url=https://www.cnn.com/2021/07/27/sport/simone-biles-tokyo-olympics-withdrawal-spt-trnd/index.html |access-date=July 28, 2021 |publisher=CNN |archive-date=August 20, 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240820212408/https://www.cnn.com/2021/07/27/sport/simone-biles-tokyo-olympics-withdrawal-spt-trnd/index.html |url-status=live }} The U.S. team went on to win the silver medal behind the Russian athletes.{{cite web |url=https://olympics.com/tokyo-2020/en/news/roc-wins-women-s-team-gold-medal-ending-team-usa-s-decade-long-reign |title=ROC wins women's team gold medal, ending Team USA's decade long reign |publisher=International Olympic Committee |date=July 27, 2021 |access-date=July 27, 2021 |archive-date=July 27, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210727145350/https://olympics.com/tokyo-2020/en/news/roc-wins-women-s-team-gold-medal-ending-team-usa-s-decade-long-reign |url-status=dead}}

Biles became the fourth American female artistic gymnast to compete at three Olympic Games.
