Alarm clock

I have three alarms set on my iPhone SE. One alarm will stop upon picking up the phone. I can’t find a reason for this.

iPhone SE, iOS 16

You may have each of the three alarms set differently in the Clock App.

___________

As an option: The alarms can be set to repeat, or to snooze, or not.

If not set to repeat or snooze, you may not need to turn an alarm off.
